Has anyone used these? A friend of mine gave me some samples to use on my heavily-oxidized project boat. Another friend of mine saw them and was surprised that I was wet-sanding by hand, so I figured I was late to the party and was eager to try them with my PC 7424.
He gave me some 2000 and some 3000. I wet a 2000 disc, squeezed out excess water, slapped it onto the PC and hit an area of gunnel that I had previously wet-sanded with 1500 by hand. It really didn't do anything, so I tried an un-sanded area, which clogged up the disc quickly, but even after a rinse, it wasn't doing much. I tried the 3000, with the same results. I really couldn't tell the difference between the 2000 and the 3000, even though in wet-dry sandpaper terms, that's a big jump.
I'm assuming I need to adjust my technique...
