To 3k sand or not

[Kaban]

This was more towards the ones I see that go right to wetsand and compound to reduce heat into an extremely beat panel. Does it do more damage or not, basically. Guess I should've stated it totally different.

If you're so experienced with both buffing and sanding, why would you not just try both ways and see which method is saving you time while yielding the required results? Seems pretty simple to me. I don't work on cars that need sanding but I do use a TON of wool and M100. Never saw the need for sanding unless we are dealing with crappy repaint's that need the orange peel or other defects knocked down.

it was a simple question and just seeing what others did.

Guess I will try with using wool pad.
