I was surprised at how fast the sanding marks came out?
My first though is soft paint.
My second thought is uniform particle size on the sanding sheets as I didn't see any tracers at all.
Of course, the Rupes compound and foam cutting pad are a very aggressive combo.
At this time I'm planning on having my class use rotary buffers with wool pads though because there are a lot of curves on this hotrod and historically, the fastest way overall to sand and buff out the sanding marks out of an entire car is via a rotary buffer. It's also about hands-on training and practice, not just doing a car a certain way because you can.
My class will get tons of hands-on time buffing out the 1965 Dodge Cornet with the Rupes system.

I wish they had those in disk form for DA backplate. I have been searching for this all week. Finally found some but have to buy it in boxes of 100 disks ;( Would not be so bad if the box contained various grit sizes, but since I need 500, 800, 1500 and 3000 grit, that's 400 disks!

What do you need such agressive discs for? Are you doing body work?

Nah, just for headlight restoration.

Well you really want 3" discs. Like this,
I agree it would be handy to be able to purchase a mixed disc kit.
Good topic for it's own thread.

This video is what gave me the idea of asking Michael Stoops if I could attempt removing 1500

Flat panels are pretty easy to work, curves will be more difficult.
