Default Re: Air vs electric

Brent I have done alot of headlights here in the Deep South.Started out by hand with a buffer for final polish and the went to a 3" electric variable speed sander of home design LOL.The then Metabo .....its great,but because I have a 40 Gal compressor on my trailer for paint work I have recently started using a 3 Air D/A with 3" hookit pad and soft 3" interface pad.This thing is the way to go as It really sands the lens fast but you have very good control with the sander.When I am ready to polish I just pop on 3M polish pad 3" and polish out.I works really well but is a real overkill as to what you need.If I just did w/shield and headlight repair electric would be the way to go.But if you do have a good compressor system it really feels like the next level.JMHO
