I'm curious as to what you guys think would be best for cutting 1500 sand scratches.

-Currently using 3m's Perfect it 3k I beleive (Forgot the full name)
I would like to switch because it dusts way too much, and is a hassle to clean up.
-Also, it tends to leave alot of micro-marring.


Can anyone recommend me something that can cut the equivalent to the 3m?
A pad to go along with the compound would also be great.

I ran across this, and these scratches loook TERRIBLE, and if the Mpo85 can handle this, with those kind of results, I think it could handle the 1500?
Thanks alot guys!

A nice option to cut through 1500 grit sanding marks is Meguiar's M105 using orange pads. It's a great polish that is versatile and can offer a lot of correction on almost any paint. You could follow up with M205 using white pads, then the PO85RD on black if desired. Here's a step-by-step tutorial on the M105 / M205 polishes by a top professional detailer.

PO85RD offers very little correction ability and wouldn't put a dent in any wet sanding marks.

Hope this helps.

 

I think you just sold me on that product.
Will be buying tomorrow most likely, along with the pad.


Another quick question, after using my 3M at the shop, I follow up with 3M's ultrafina on their blue pad and have had great results even on black. I mean absolutely fantastic.
Now, i'm assuming since the m105 appears to finish better then the 3M perfect it, I should have no problem going from the M105 to my Ultrafina right??
Thanks man!

 

Do you have the Perfect it 3000 Extra duty rubbing compound? If so, you have most of what you need, but I personally prefer either Menzerna Power Gloss, or Matrix polish I. To rub out 1500 grit sanding scratches, I recommend compounding with a wool pad. Compounding will leave a lot of heavy swirling, you would then go to a orange pad with Menzerna SIP, or Matrix II, then finish with Menzerna Super Finish, or Matrix III. I would stay away from most of the Perfect It line if possible, I think the only quality one they sell is the Ultrafina.

How much is a bottle of Menzerna Power Gloss?
And how does it compare to the finish of the M105?


This is the Power Finish correct?
