Wet sanding.. will this Da polisher work?
Hi guys,
I've just had my car re sprayed and had the painter add 3 coats of clear coat so I can wet sand after.
I have been offered a Das6 pro plus to do this. My question is will this be right for the job. I've searched the net a lot looking info and people seem to say that any more than 8-10mm throw will be hard to use.
This machine has 15mm which is making me unsure where it is suitable.
DAS 6 Pro Plus - 15mm Dual Action Polisher - Shop 'n' Shine
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

I don't think it will be hard to use but be careful as it may remove a lot of paint very fast.
IF you decide to use this tool then stick with high quality sanding discs from Meguiar's, 3M and/or Mirka. We carry all of these brands here at AG.
There's a 8mm version by that same company I think, that would be an easier and safer tool to use.
I teach using the PC, Griot's and Megs 8mm DA Polishers in my class on hand and machine sanding. They work great.
Here's a very in-depth article on how to sand by machine....

Here's a related article,
Can the Flex 3401 be used to wetsand?
While it's not safe to machine sand using a Flex 3401 for car paint I do show this for sanding gel-coat boats and aluminum pontoon boats in my boat detailing book.

Re: Wet sanding.. will this Da polisher work?
thanks mike for the info. Ive decided to go for one of the other type either a das6 500w or 900w.
Firstly would 500W be enough to do this job comfortably or would I be better going for 900W.
I will supplier images later today of the paint condition. I'm wondering whether I can use 3000-5000 grit or a velvet orange peel removal pad to decrease the orange peel instead of going 1500-3000-5000.
is this possible of do I really need to start 1500?
