Ferd/289 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I am wondering if anyone has used '3M Imperial Compound and Finishing Material' for use on paint or bare aluminum surfaces. It is sold as a marine product I presume for fiberglass. I bought it for my boat but did not use. I am wondering if I can use this type of compound material as a step to enhance 1 stage Acrylic paint finish after wet sanding, and/or bare aluminum sheet finish before polishing. The bottle says its for use to remove P600-P800 DA or P1000-P1200 sand scratches wih a wool compounding pad at 2500-1500 rpm. 3M says its for a "fast cut, swirl free, high gloss finish" Ferd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Try it on a scrap piece of aluminium before you do it on paint... I used Mother's aluminium polish to finish my paint part of my Rustoleum paint job. Worked pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferd/289 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 That rustoleum thread in the mopar site reads like a soap opera. I could not stop reading it. I will try it on some aluminum. Ferd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
