Will the PC and Adams Gen2 pads be enough to...

[Kwhite]

help me polish the body kit I will be painting soon? I'm just wondering if it will be aggresive enough to buff and polish it up after i wetsand the clearcoat when it has cured. only other time Ive painted was my motorcycle parts. and friend had a buffer we used that was air driven. any thoughts?

 

appreciate the help all

Honestly I'd lean towards having a professional (preferrably the shop that painted your body kit) buff it out with a high speed rotary polisher. Funny thing is, to remove the swirl marks that are always left behind by a rotary - they'll break out a Porter Cable!

Whenever I hear "body shop" and "rotary", it sends chills up my spine: The buffer holograming left behind by some of those shops is epic.

Hey,

 

I have not used one yet, but from what I have seen I think it would go good for you if you use the swirl killer pad. However, I am not sure that the SHR is going to be strong enough. It has worked for me before, but it takes a lot of time. Until Adam's comes out with a actual rubbing compound, I still use 3M for now to get the dirty work done. Then I go behind and clean up with Adam's.

not having a shop paint my kit. painting it myself. learned a long time ago how to paint. just never tried a pc to cut and buff. was wondering if anyone had ever tried it. but i spose either way, i can try and worst case, borrow a rotary lol

 

well, i should say im painting it myself if the price is right on the paint. if i cant get the paint at a good enough price, ill be taking it to a shop to save me the hassle. main reason i do painting myself is : a- its usually a ton cheaper, b- i know im doing it right and dont have to worry about paying for a paint job thats going to chip and flake off due to poor prep and failure to use adhesion promoter(its a duraflex kit, so will def need it to make the paint soak in)

I have never had any issues removing wet sanding marks from paint with a PC and a orange pad. I think people who say that it can't be done have never used a PC.

I do agree with the junkman on this one. Even though I have been known to use something a bit stronger and then go down through the Adams line. With the right compound and technique you can cut plenty with a PC.

I'll be backing that up with a wet sanding video in the immediate future.
