Compounds for wet sanding

[spdglz]

hello guys, im new to this site:woot2 im planning on doing a wet sand process to my truck but i really dont know what products to use after the sanding. apparently there are so many products that i dont know which one is the most adequate one. what buffing compound do you guys recommend right after sanding? and for polishing? im planning on using a 2000 and finish with a 2500 grit

What machines do you have to work with to remove the sanding marks?

[geert dr]

M105 & a woolpad or cuttingpad on a rotary work very well for removing wetsandingmarks .
To refine after compounding M205 or M80 & a polishingpad on a DA will give you the result your after !
Just make sure that you remove all sandingmarks before you start polishing to a high gloss !

Meguiar’s® Dual Action Polisher G110 Scottwax2 would that do?

If you already have the G110, then it certainly wouldn't hurt to try. Prime the pads per the Kevin Brown Method (http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31568&highlight=Kevin+Brown+Method) to slightly increase your cutting ability. Will you be using a cutting pad, or a polishing pad?

Other than that, rotary buffing is usually required to remove wetsanding marks.

In my experience it is possible to remove wetsandingmarks with a G110 (DA).
I did a test on a scrap panel that i wetsanded with 2000grit and 2500grit Wet and dry ( 3M ).

On the first picture i used M105 & a Even Coat Applicator. (3 passes )

ok, i see now, but for best results on wet sanding marks, a rotary buffer would be better and a DA for polishing

one more question, now that thought about it a bit more, what if i dont decide to wet sand, could i still use the M105 for removing some minor scratches and then finish up with a M205 or M80? both process on a DA
