    What product/ Color pads

    Im going to be using my PC 7424xp this weekend on my camaro. Its my DD, & has intermediate swirls and light scratches. I ordered the Intermediate Swirl remover kit from Pinnacle. Was wondering if I wet sanded , would any of the kit products remove the wetsanding marks? Or should I order the m105/205 combo for that?

    With it being my DD and no more garage ( will be detailing inside buddys garage)

    I really need something to lock everything in & hold up to the DD weather abuse. So I ask what products & color pads to use with them.

    i doubt a foam pad can eliminate sand marks, but i read the surbuf pads can take care of that. You can add that to your order. If you're more interested in protection, then you're best bet would be sealant than a wax.

    I'm not too sure I would go through the whole wet sanding thing for a DD that sits outside 24/7.

    If you have to ask, then you shouldn't do it. You can do ALOT of damage while wetsanding if you don't have the proper equipment and exerience.


    Don't take that the wrong way, just heed the advice.

    Not taking it the wrong way. I'm still learning so its cool. Ive wetsanded before but was helping my friend with his nissan, but that was years ago. I didnt do anything more than wetsand though.

    What would be a good sealant to use for a DD. I ts a Polo Green Metallic camaro

    I couldn't agree more wetsanding is a whole new ball game when it comes to paint correction.As far as the PC you should be able to remove 2500/3000 sanding marks but won't be able to do it using the XMT line of products.IMO the best way to remove sanding marks is good old wool and a rotary.

    XMT #3 should be able to remove 2500/3000 sanding marks with a DA no problem. #4 is a much heavier cut, up there with compounds like Power Gloss and will laugh at 2500 grit sanding marks.

    With that said, I don't recommend wet sanding..

    I ALWAYS use Collinite 845 for DD status cars. I'll top that with a Natty's wax for added protection most of the time.

    Yeah, that #4 is wicked. You can hear it grinding on the paint when you spread it around. I had a little fling off the pad onto a test section I had completed. It left significant scratches in the finished paint. I would not use it unless you are spot compounding a specific scratch or compounding BADLY damaged paint.
