Can you use a DA to cut and buff clear coat with the proper bonnet/pad?

Yes. Pads are available to polish with the DA set to circular. Most guys only use it for small spots, it's way too slow and not enough power and it's more likely to burn through because you have less control without a side handle. 1500g 2000g even 3000g sandpaper is available for the DA to colorsand. Don't bother, it does more harm than good. Just wet sand it like everyone else.

Actually, I rather like wet sanding by hand in the final stages. something about it is very satisfying. |
