We had the chance to try the new 3M Denibbing system in class. We had first year students that have never buffed anything and we had second year students that have used other methods last year. You will hear from both a first year and second year student to get their opinion on the new system.
This was also my first time to try the denibber system as well. I just wish they had some of these cool tools when I was working in the industry. This system makes sanding out dirt quick and does not make a mess, as with traditional buffing methods. You can buff one spot and wipe the panel clean and you’re done.
This system works best if you have several spots that need to have dirt buffed. If you have a lot of dirt and the entire panel needs to be sanded and buffed, you will be better using the traditional method. Also if you are need to level orange peel, the traditional method would work best as well.
The 3M Denibbing System is Available Here
