I thought it was a SMAT product but it feels very gritty.
SMAT = Super Microscopic Abrasive Technology
Something in the formula was "not" microscopic. We also used this product by hand to remove baked-on adhesive and it worked really well for this when 3M Adhesive Remover didn't touch it.

Perhaps my comment about using the maroon W72707 and it generationg heat didn't come out as I intended. I was trying to ask if there was a particular reason why you chose that pad over a wool pad.

Hi Bill,
The first reason I used the foam cutting pad is because I spoke with Jason Rose about this project and using M101 on it and he suggested this pad, I also referenced this conversation in #4 here....

Just to note... if you haven't used the Nanoskin Autoscrub pads they work great at removing pretty much every contaminant off the surface to create a super smooth surface perfect for the next step.
A glossy finish starts with a smooth surface. After we removed the vinyl graphics off our recent extreme makeover to Jay's 1999 Trans Am the next step was to decontaminate it and for this we used the Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads...
Here's Ken using a 6" Nanoskin Autoscrub pad on a Porter Cable DA Polisher to decontaminate the door...

First Timer...
Note not only was this the first time Ken used a Nanoskin Autoscrub Pad it was the first time he had ever used a Porter Cable DA Polisher.

Super High Gloss Results!
Check out how glossy the ORIGINAL 13-year old paint came out and the glossy results you see here started with getting the paint smooth first and that's where the Nanoskin Autoscrub pads helped out...
