airadvantage sander question?

[mmooney84]

i see under specials the air advantage sander and 100 discs of 1500 grit sand paper... It is dry sand or wet sand? How user friendly is it? Do you have to be careful sanding or does not take off that much material? I have cut through to the base before pretty easy hand sanding along body lines and so forth.. I just dont want to spend over 2 hundred and have to be super careful because I would just rather hand wet sand if I have to be super careful.

what do you guys think? I mainly paint bumpers and tailgates.. Would this be a good upgrade or should i stick with hand wet sanding?

The AirVantage is very user friendly and when using the 1500 Finishing Film you're LESS likely to sand through than you are by hand because you're usually using it dry. When you color sand using this method you can see exactly what is happening and can stop before you go too far. Of course you can't sand on peaks or in tight spots but for 90% of the vehicle you can sand much more easily than by hand. I'd recommend getting an "interface pad" to help insure that the sander takes the shape of the curves rather than risk sanding flat spots in the surface.l

I think it would work real good for my tailgates.. I might have to pick one up real soon.

Once you use one you won't want to pick up any other DA. We just got a 3" model and I can't wait to try it.

That's true. They are the cat's meow.

Can't wait til I can afford one of those 3"

So our the main purpose of these sanders for wet sanding?To get orange peel out?color sanding?I am new to this and always thought you had to do hours and hours of hand wet sanding to do this.
