[DML] Re: Correct Scotch Brite Pad?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried several kinds of pads. The "best" one seems to be the
ones sold by the Delorean venders. It is courser than any I have been
able to find. I am trying a different one now, I am cutting up a pad
that was meant for a large floor polishing machine so it is a large
(around 30") round piece that I will cut up into squares. The 3m
polish is also available from the venders or you can get it direct if
you want a whole case. The polish is expensive so I don't use it all
the time. In between I use Windex. It has to be fresh, if the amonia
evaporates out of it, it streaks. Stay away from anything that leaves
the surface oily. It will attract and hold dust and dirt. To really do
the job "right" you may have to sand the car down first with 120#
sandpaper to get out scratches. If they are deep you might have to
start with 80#. Don't press too hard and GO WITH THE GRAIN!!!!! Don't
do one panel and think you are finished. You will have to do the whole
car to make it look even. Protect the fascias and mouldings with
masking tape when working near them.

also read about the 3m Stainless Cleaner & Polish.  I can't find them
around here.  Does anyone know of a good place to order them?
