what's the difference between #3 #5 #7

[rhino1834]

I was wondering what is the difference betwen #3 #5 #7 and what will they do for my car? Can all those products be used with a da like the g110?

Pure polishes create gloss
You can use them by hand or with a DA Polisher, M03 can also be used with a rotary buffer.

Thanks for all of our feedback, Mike. I'm trying to give my car a deeper gloss I'm thinking of buying the G110 to apply these products and I may get #9 and #80 because I have some swirls.

One more question, does the grit of the sandpaper get finer as the number goes higher?

Thanks,

Yes, the higher the grit, the finer the sandpaper.

The finer grits (2000+) will leave very fine scratches. Lower grits remove more material and the scratches are not as fine.

#5 and #7 will give you close to the same results. #5 works best if you are in a high humid area. #7 you could chase around the car if it is humid where you are at.
