    What is a SUB-MIcron Abrasive..

    I never heard of this type of Abrasive until Griot came out with there BOSS system?


    Can I work the polish untill I feel im ready to stop or is it similar to the Smat technology were If you work it too many times the results diminish.

    Re: What is a SUB-MIcron Abrasive..

    {This particular "abrasive naming"
    is a new one to me as well.}


    •To be sub-micron is to be sized
    at less than 1 micron.
    -1 micron is one-millionth of a meter.

    •So, with these types of abrasives being
    pretty daggone small to begin with;

    -and, with them having the tendency to
    agglomerate (to "clump together", as it
    were) when the liquid—with which they're held
    in suspension—is being dissipated while polishing;

    -they are, IMO, similar to Meguiar's SMAT abrasives
    technologies...and are to be used accordingly.


    JMO...
    I could be completely off-base in my analysis.
