You can try DA sanding and just work clean (not saying your not) to help eliminate the pigtails.

You could also DA sand let's say with a 1000 then follow by hand sand with 1500 and finish with 3000.

Not sure which grit you use, but DA, hand sand and 3000 DA to speed you up some.

The first DA step will remove the orange peel, second any pigtails plus more orange peel and 3000 will just make the buffing step faster. From my experience.

We don't work on show cars just daily drivers that got in a collision.

We use everything 3M

3M wool pad
Black polishing pad and blue pad.

And compounds and polishes.

However, when I am detailing on my own work. I like the Meguiars line.

Menzerna is nice to but expensive.

:welcome: To Autogeek Online!! I believe this a photo of the rare bufferosaurus!! It is said that machines such as this used sheep for buffing pads....although I may be mistaken..... :eek:


:iagree: And for fine finish work, we used a lamb.
