3M Question

[BillE]

My neighbor gave me a bottle of 3M "Machine Polish" Part #06064 (he works for 3M).

Anyone have any insight as to if it is DA compatible? From looking around, it appears that it falls somewhere between 105 and 205.

Thanx for any help...

just give it a shot, theres no information stating it is not DA compatible so i would just give it a shot, most products now can be used for both machines...

I've found that as long as a 3M product says it's a "Machine Polish"....Your choice of "Machine" will depend on the grade of sanding/compounding scratches or swirl marks your trying to remove. Such as: Grade MicroFine 1500 or finer, for example.

My preferences:
A rotary with a wool/synthetic wool pad.
A DA with an assortment of foam pads having different "cutting abilities".

Note:
When there is no specific "Machine Polish" labeling on the 3M bottle; and, as long as it doesn't say "Hand Polish" (Such as: 3M Imperial Hand Glaze); I can rest assured it's for "Machine" use.


If a person is still doubtful:
The old standby..."Test Spot"...may just relieve any "Machine" worries one has.
That, or contacting 3M's Hotline.

Thanx guys for the replies.

Reading anything 3M says is pretty ambigious...other than saying 'machine' or 'hand'.

I'll just give it a go (when it gets a tad warmer) and see what happens. I'm really not to worried, I can always correct any problems it may cause me (won't be the first time doing THAT).

Have a good Christmas...
