First Introduction to Wet Sanding & Rotary Polishing Class of 2017 with some eager students ready to take away as much information as they can. Students can expect to learn the following in Meguiar's Intro to Wet Sanding & Rotary Polishing:
After a few hours in the training room, we stepped out into the garage for some demonstration from Mike Stoops.




Hand Sanding Demonstration. We used 1000, 2000, & 3000 Unigrit Finishing Papers by hand with an E7200 Sanding Backing Pad.





DA Sanding Demonstration: The below pictures shows the benefits of utilizing a foam interface pad like our S6FIS when DA Sanding.






Measuring the differences in heat build up between a wool pad & a foam cutting pad. Foam cutting pads have the ability to generate much more heat, so should be used with extreme caution.


Final polishing with M205 Ultra Finishing Polish applied on a Soft Buff Foam Finishing Pad.

Showing how to remove 3000 grit sanding marks with Meguiar's MT300 Dual Action Polisher, M101 Foam Cut Compound on a DFC5 DA Microfiber Cutting Disc.


Time for the class attendants to practice their techniques sanding & using a rotary machine. Students appreciate being able to practice these skills without having to worry about damaging the paint you are working on with our demonstration hoods & painted panels. In fact, we would recommend doing this at home if you are looking to practice. Pick up a hood from a junkyard, get it painted if needed, and start practicing.
