I don't have #83 DACP but I do have a mild compound that will remove 1000 to 2000 wet sand scratches etc... Can this take the place of #83? I want to remove some scratches and holograms. If #80 doesnt' work I was wondering if I could jump over to this? Are they at all close?

All depends on the compound. Some break down really fine and only require a light follow-up with something like the #80. Others leave pretty serious micromarring (not so micro
).
And some are rotary-only while some work fine with a D/A or by hand.
I've gone from 3M PI-III RC (05933) straight to #80 on black and it worked great. But there are a *LOT* of compounds that don't break down the way 05933 does.
If in doubt, you might want to just get the #83. Better safe than sorry and #83/#80 is a pretty standard combo.
Edit: Unless you're considering some pretty serious rotary work, I'd use 3K for the final wetsanding. 3K scratches are easy to deal with, 1-2K scratches are not.Practical Perfectionist -
I would agree with Accumulator on this in that it really depends on the compound and the type of abrasives it contains.
Typically, dual action polisher don't offer an aggressive enough action to work a compound efficiently, as in when you're done, the paint looks good.
If nothing else, try just a Test Spot to a small area and check your results.Comment

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm thinking maybe I'll pick up some #83 just to be safe.Comment

I've tried compound with a PC before and to say the results were horiffic is an understatement! The next day I ordered a Makita 9227 and set about learning how to use the rotary.
