ok update. i got a chance to use some different eagle products on a black vette i am working on. i always like to do my initial cut of 1000g dry so i can see when all the peel and dust specs are gone. for that i always use the eagle yellow film discs which always work great. from there i always went to 1500 yellow film dry which has always worked sort of ok but was never impressed with that step. i have always wanted to make the 1500 step wet since i am only refining scratches at that point. i ordered a box of orange assilex and a box of tolex discs. both of these are the soft silky type discs just like the bufflex. tolex is for dry sanding and assilex im sure will go either way. honestly the only difference with the tolex is it has alot of dry lube applied to it so it doesnt load up. i took each door off this car and sanded both with 1000 then one door was sanded with assilex wet an the other i did with tolex but i actually used the disc wet as well. tried it dry and it worked ok but wet was hands down better. after sanding i took my small mini buffer and menzerna supercut300 and buffed a small spot so i could see the scratches and how they buffed. my findings.....orange assilex while its supposed to be about 1500 grit, is far too aggressive. that stuff cuts as fast as a 400 disc but i would say the scratch left was about equal to 1000-1200 grit. the tolex with the exact same amount of buffing buffed right out to a high gloss finish. i am thinking that the tolex is the pink assilex with drylube added to it. pink is a step finer than the orange. so i ended up doing the whole rest of the car using 1000 yellow film then tolex wet. i must say the tolex cut fast and lasted forever. i used 1 disc to do the whole body of a 59 vette then another disc to do the doors, hood , trunk and hatch cover. with a compound like the menzerna 300 on 3 day old universal clear you can end with the tolex if you want. takes a little extra buffing work but not bad. it buffs right out no sweat. the green bufflex is optional. i used green bufflex on the body only and ended with tolex on all other parts. time wise i think it ended up being about the same either way. in any case i did the whole car from 1000 to final polish in 7 hrs without a single pigtail and only used 2 tolex and 1 bufflex disc. 2 bufflex if i did the whole job and not just the body. the 1000 took maybe 15-20 of those an9 75% of my sanding time was wrapped up in the 1000 stage. this method is definitely the best, cheapest and fasted way to go i have ever used. you could easily get 7-8 complete cars out of a $45 box of tolex. the menzerna 300 compound works great with this setup. no scratches or dull spots coming back on me like with 3m and leaves a high gloss finish that i can do a quick polishing on and its done. its like 3m perfect-it ex compound but far better. for my polish i still use the 3m perfect-it ex polish. the dark grey/black stuff. that i find is pretty good.
