So my girlfriend got me an awesome gift a while ago, a Hutchins Waterbug. Its your normal Hutchins DA with a water hose run to it specifically for wetsanding. I hinted heavily about this thing to her when I wanted it because I HATE the wetsanding and buffing process...
I am finally about to use it, ironically on her car. I am wondering what to expect over hand block wetsanding. I bought 1000, 1500, and 2000 paper from my local supplier. One thing I was under the assumption of, is it would cut fast. The guy said not really. For a given grit, it will be more forgiving than the same grit by hand.
The other thing he mentioned was being careful of getting trash under the paper, something I didnt think about until he said it. Hand sanding, you can hear it if you are paying attention.
So, for those who use them for wetsanding the clear, what tips do you have?
I use a rotary buffer with a wool pad and 105 followed by a foam pad and 205 typically. Used 3m perfect it in 3 stages on the last car and wasnt overly impressed.
