The high tech solution has been developed by 3M for use with a 5 inch air or
electric orbital sander. I saw it at OSH last year, I bought the kit, I
tried it, and everything else pales in comparison. It is the 3M acrylic
window repair kit. Available on line. Pull out your credit card and go to:
www.3M.com/finishingsystems
or equivalently
http://www.ez2order.com/3Mfinishingsystems/
and forget anything else. From savage scratch to optical perfection in 15
minutes, with power tools and water (not sweat). It works.
I was so impressed that I ordered several other kits and use the high tech
abrasives with the little orbital sander for finish work on paint coats as
well. They guy in the booth just finished a Corvette and directed me to "3M
Imperial Microfinishing Film Grades" 9 micron grade for the final wet sand
prior to buffing of clear coat. I bought coarser grades and have used them
for heavier work including the final sanding of primer coats. These new
abrasives are really impressive being made of carefully size-controlled
pyramids lined up in rows, not sifted rocks bonded to paper with glue .
I checked the site and they are having a 50% off sale until early February
for some products. Like I said. Pull your credit card and get some of this
stuff. It's great.
And I can recommend the 5 inch Dynabrade air orbital sander, also available
from Dynabrade distributors. See the products at www.dynabrade.com. The
site has a list of dealers. I found a dealer in Portland, OR who had a web
site, and I ordered the sander, foam padded disks for the Stick-it
abrasives, and spare parts.
