Before & After rims.

[G Winter]

I have used 3000 on a DA to clean up the hood on a black 98 Riv I had. Darn thing would look rainbow no matter what I did. Used the garden hose and the DA with 3000 then used two diff grades of buffing compound. Was like a mirror when I got done. I was going to sell it and the hood is the number one in list of things people see. First person that looked bought it.

BTW it looked like h*ll after the 3000 but it came right to life with the buffing compound.

Where can I buy it?

What I had was precut for a DA . A body shop owner friend gave me a couple sheets. Most body shop supply places should have it. If not check with a local body shop.

I just did a google. Found a forum and was stated the Wallmart has it next to the touch up paint .

Body shops, okay, but...what is a DA? Seriously? I do not know.

AH! Thanks Glenn. They used to use those to buff aircraft skin.

You can buy a DA from places like Harbor Freight for under $30. You do need a pretty good compressor to run it though.
The work wonders with a buffing pad to wax a car.

I see, but I just have a little compressor. Not enough to power anything but filling tires really.

Is there any benefit to going on to 3000 paper before the rubbing compound ?

Glenn

Yes, the finer the paper you end up using, the easier the polishing will be. So you pay on one end (paper) to save on the other (polish).
