The guy is saying dry works better on wet they suck,,,i know eagle abrassive have good reviews over the 3m but this guys says he try both head to head dry and wet and 3m is better tgats why im trying to get more info on this i switch to eagle 1000,1500,2000 yellow and green/black 2500 and 4000
IMHO you should take a close look at what JimC recommends on page 5 of this thread. His latest findings was using Eagle yellow dry 1000 and then jumping to Tolex 193-1503 wet, it's a pink disk that will be equivalent to 2000, then start with a wool pad then follow with your preferred foam cutting pad. Two sanding steps and you're done, compare that to all the steps we have been discussing before, so it's worth a try from a convenience and even money wise point.
The only way you will know for sure what works is trying it yourself, we all work under different environments and that may play into it as well.
The 3M dry 1000 I tried and it took a long time before the disk started to cut, the first 30 seconds or even longer it just spins like it's doing nothing and then finally starts to cut, it seemed to last a decent time, but to me, at low RPMS and light pressure with the DA it seemed to leave a coarser finish than the Eagle stuff, that set me up for pig tail city and a longer time trying to 'erase' the first cut with 3M, you may find different results than me.
Now if you gave me those 3M disks for prepping metallic paint jobs I'd be extremely happy with them, because they do last quite a while, but for buffing I didn't like their sanding finish.
Last quick buffing job I had to do was with Eagle 1000 dry, then the new Norton 1500 6" used wet, then a quick pass with Norton black ice 2000 wet by hand.
Started buffing with Meguiars burgundy wool pad and Menzerna 300, then switched to Chemical guys orange foam pad and Menzerna 400 and was done, this was on a F150 UG darkish gray color, nothing fancy, no mirror restoration finish stuff, just a clean polish job that matched the small factory peel and I couldn't find any damn pigtails anywhere, it was a really good better than factory finish.
