 3m makes good stuff.  But I wasn't even thinking about Cindy when I wrote 
that.  I use 3m all the time.  Just stuck some gasket material this afternoon 
with 3m trim adhesive; and of course I wrote at least a dozen notes today on 
sticky notes.  In my office I used to keep sticky notes stuck all over the 
computer and would tell people that I kept all my information on my computer.

Kidding aside; the 06062 is really good for a first cut on buffing out after 
your color sand.  But they did change the formula a couple of years back and 
the 
new does not work as well as the old.  Response I got when asking about the 
change was that it was an EPA enviornmental thing.

Well, I have a good "in" at 3M. ;)

First you need a high speed buffer:  Various pads but I prefer the foam ones 
and 
then various grits of 3m buffing material.  I used 3m 06062 first then finished 
with 3m  finese.  But, EPA regs have changed some of the formulations of 
buffing 
compounds.  What I would do is go to a good auto paint store, ask what they 
recommend in terms of pads and buffing material and go with their 
recommendations.

Okay, I've got the paint sanded down with 2000 and ready for final buffing but 
I 
don't know what material to use? Any suggestions? Thx in advance.

Sent almost from, but not quite, somewhere else.
