“The paper works great and with ease.
We have been using T9 masking paper for about a year now, and we have not had to go back and buff out any cars because of this clean paper's unique qualities.
We estimated we save about 4.5 hours per car in time saved in post cleanup efforts of buffing and cleaning due to the cleaner painting we got.
The paper has excellent qualities for holding the base coat over-spray, therefore reducing the amount of trash that ends up in the clear coat stage.
