Re: The Power of 3000 Grit
I am trying to wrap my head around the above statement. Based on this is it safe to say that using the 3000 unigrit foam pads, with interface and appropriate backing plate is equivalent to 1500 grit hand sanding?
If so I have more questions. My objective is to knock down whole car orange peel from a new paint job. So if the above rule of thumb holds true would I be wasting my time to hand wetsand with 2000 unigrit then move on to damp sand with 3000 unigrit foam pad and G100v2? I ask because I would be smoothing clear with 2000 wet but scratching it deeper wit 3000 damp (equivalent to 1500 sand)? Would I be going in the wrong direction? Or maybe the da with 3000 damp creates a more uniform scratch that cuts up nicer than 1500 hand wetsand? I intend to finish with MF cut and then MF finishing on G110v2. Any help here will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!1
