Re: Cleaning your car using "Scotch Brite" pads

[turbodmc@xxxx]

No that is not the right pad!
The pad you need is the 3M 7446 blending pad.
It is a coarse pad that will give you the correct grain that you want.
If you use the red or green pads they are too fine and will make the 
finish too shinny.

The 7446 pads are a bit harder to find ( I have not seen them in Home 
Depot),but you could find them at a good automotive paint suppler or 
maybe a good paint or hardware store. A restaurant supply store may 
also have them. Once again the easy way to get them is call to your 
favorite DeLorean supplier because they will have them. They cost is
a little more then the red pads probably $1.75 to $2.00 each pad.

Here is a the 3m product info
