Maybe even they can't afford them.i am highly surprised that they are not using their own brand sanders in the video. very unusual for 3m not to push their product in every opportunity

I've had the same issues with 1000 da. These fenders being so round I started with 1200 wet on a soft block, then Tolex, 3000, and 8000. I had no straightline scratches, so I assume I didn't go over the Tolex enough with the 3000. I usually use the green Bufflex after the Tolex which may have worked better than the 3000 Trizact.when i have da scratches left behind i find its from my 1000-1500 step. its usually me not getting the 1000 fully worked out with 1500 because im just not sanding long enough with 1500 before moving on to the 3000/green bufflex step. many times i rush it then it bites me in the ass.
its been years since i used 3000 trizact. first time i read this it didnt click that you were using it. the whole reason i stopped using it was because it wore out so quickly but it made you think it was still working by creating foam on the surface. this was causing me major issues with what you are seeing. the best i ever got out of a 3000 disc was 1 panel. i really dont understand because 1 5000 disc will last damn near a whole car. anyway, ditch the 3000 and try a green bufflex instead for that step. way cheaper, last alot longer and you can tell when it stops cutting.
@Jim C Couple of questions, are you using the green buflex dry? And you are using it in place of the 3000 Trizact correct?
ok so i have an update and a confession lol. the 3000 then 8000 trizact is an actual system so since its been about 8 or more years since i have used the trizact 3000 i figured i would give it a shot again just to see if they made any changes to it to make it better and last longer like the 5000. i have been through a whole box of it now and have to say it is night and day difference from what it once was. i have compared it side by side with the green bufflex then the 8000 after and i actually found that the panel where i used the 3000 then 8000 vs green bufflex then 5000 or 8000 actually buffed out way faster. i am going to switch my 3000 step now from green bufflex back to the trizact. my initial sanding is still done with 1000 eagle yellow film then tolex or pink assilix for the 1500.
