Why are you using trizact 8000 in older clears then instead of bufflex?i did try the sunfoam a few mos back. i was not impressed. not sure why but i could not get it to cut. it would never even start. it was the 3000 grit. like don said, the 8000 trizact is great stuff. 3000 trizact, while i wouldnt say it sucks, it is expensive, doesnt last too long and you cant tell when it dulls out and stops cutting. that makes for a situation where your sanding and doing nothing so your not cutting out the previous scratches. you really cant beat the eagle blue bufflex. inexpensive compared to other options. last just as long as trizact does, cuts fast and and you can tell when its getting dull.
For me it’s all about time. Just about anything works, but at what cost in time? That’s why I tossed the CG stuff. Slower than heck as you have also found. It could have been my technique but you and others have seen the same result. My technique works good with other compounds and polishes. Time is money unless you are trying to milk your customer or you have a ten year timeline….I’ve only ever used up to 3000 trizact and then started compounding with V32. I haven’t had any bad experiences with the 3000 other than paying for it. It wasn’t hard to get shiny with compound.
If my final sand is machine sand with 2500 sunmight film I have no experience knowing what the difference would be ending with sun foam 5000 vs Trizact 8000 before compounding.
My Trizact 1500 is sitting on my shelf of shame. . It’s gahbage…If you guys think the trizac 3000 sucks.... have you dabbled with the trizac 1500??!! lmao. Maybe Ill buy some 8000 and try it on my next job.
Do you guys go from the black buflex straight to 8000?
Would a 5 disc job pack of 2500 bufflex then easily be enough to do the entire exterior of an old pickup truck if I do it wet?of course not. you cant tell at those fine grits. if you do it wet you can tell by how much sanding slurry your making. its easy to tell when it stops cutting. the disc just isnt doing anything anymore
used the bufflex discs long ago before they were made for dry sanding. suddenly they discontinued the wet discs and now the package says dry. they are the same discs. nothing changed. i believe they would just last too long when used wet so they weren't making the money. now if they say dry and you replace the disc every few ft then your buying more. just use 1000 and 1500 finishing film to get the surface perfect dry so you can see what your doing then from there switch to wet and your just refining the scratches at that point.
