Hello Everyone,
I started shopping for some 6" sanding discs to use for cutting the orange peel on clear coat and was looking at 3M's Trizact Foam Hookit sanding discs in P1500, P3000. and P5000. The cost per disc is about $5 to $7 each. Is this what you guys use or is there a more cost effective brand to use. Also, about how many discs per grit do you think are needed to do an entire car (1968 Mustang)?
I plan use 3M's Perfect-It system just because there are plenty of how to videos showing their process which includes:
First) Cut the orange peel with 1500 on a 6" DA, then with 3000, and then with 5000.
Next) Polish with Rubbing Compound, then Machine compound, and finally Ultra Fine Polish using there recommended pads for each step.
Just looking to see if anyone makes a more cost effective 6" sanding discs in 1500, 3000, and 5000 grits, or is that about what they all cost?
