At the #5000 mark you're really starting to restore reflectivity to the paint...

Sweet Mike I already can't wait to get my hands on them! Keep us posted on a release!

Cant wait to see this.

I'll have to order some disks and give them a try....:props:

wow, it looks like a very mild polish would remove those, just looks hazy to me! man those things look awesome and imagine being able to remove sanding marks with a soft foam pad and some polish.....man that will be a change!

I'm going to test a very non-aggressive polish with a number of different pads/tools and then I have some other products to play with including some new wool cutting pads.


:)

Just to note, the 3M #5000 Grit finishing discs were given to me as a sample, we don't currently stock them. We do stock all the Meguiar's Unigrit discs shown in this thread.

Meguiar's 6" Unigrit Sanding and Finishing Discs

Meguiar's new Unigrit Sanding Discs are specifically designed for damp-sanding and can be used with a 5/16" orbit sander. These Unigrit discs offer uniform particle size and placement over the face of the disc and are available in both 3" and 6" sizes.

I went into this thinking I would see a little difference but the difference between the #3000 and the #5000 sanding mark results is DRAMATIC.

Haven't been able to get to the compounding yet today, other hot projects on the to-do list but will try.
