: No it's not real scientific. But it is practical.

: Try it with different grits and pressures like I did
: the result will be clear. Takes 10 minutes.

: The main difference i found is that 220 grit by DA sander removes a lot more
: material than 400 grit by hand. This is when sanding with normal pressure
: for normal amounts of time.

Still, grit size and the depth of the scratches they make stays the same regardless of the method you use.
