Let's Talk 3M....

[autobahnshine]

I'm looking to getting into the 3M line of products. I want to purchase a 3M backing plate, and the ultrafina polishes. Does anyone have any expereince with either of these? I'm trying to figure out which polish does which job, which one removes the marring etc etc!!

Thanks!!!!

I don't have the part numbers with me at this time - but here's what I bought and have had very good results from: 3M Extra Cut with their wool and foam compounding pads and I like their polishing pad (the gray one) too. The Ultrafina SE and their blue pads are excellant. OK - so what about regular polishing - well, I like Menzerna IP/106 for that. Try the 3M pads, they worked fine with the backing plate that came with my Makita, I think you'll be pleased.

I use all except E and F.



I use the rubbing compounds with wool, the swirl mark remover with 3m's black polishing pad, and the ultrafina with their blue pad. The 3000 setup is pretty bang on for great results.
