Your right about my orbital, it's slow .. does a fine job, but takes forever doing it. I'm really liking the Menserna 400 ... basically takes it from a wet sanded condition to almost final polish without changing product. Also using the denium pad, works well, only downside is it needs to be cleaned a LOT if taking off a lot of clear ... I've found scraping it with a sharp kitchen knife clears it off enough for another go.

Couple of questions ... how dry to you run your pad? I'm finding the 400 seems to work better on the dry side, drier than anything else I've used. As a kid in a body shop we slopped on the compound with a rag on a stick out of a bucket ... things have changed?

I'm finding I have to press pretty hard on the oribital to get results .... again learned on a rotary with a giant wool pad when I lived in fear of ruining the bosses paint job by burning through. I'm guessing this is just a result of using an orbital?

Thanks
