Polisher recommendations

[72c20customcamper]

Have you buffed a vehicle with a rotary buffer before? If not I would practice on some some old fenders and doors. Very easy to burn paint with the wrong technique and wrong products. When I do a car of unknown prior paint treatments I try the least aggressive and work up in aggressiveness. Rotary buffers are very unforgiving .

It's a lot more complicated today buffing there are multitudes of products and pads from very aggressive to super soft. So a combination of pad and product can make a mess or come out perfect.

That being said I use a Makita 9227 rotary and Flex 3401 orbital .
Sometimes it’s better to lightly sand with 1500 or finer paper then buff . I stripped the repaint and sealer then buffed the original paint with a rotary wool pad and ultra cut then hit with a polish pad and swirl remover . Finished with the orbital with a wax pad and Griots Complete polish and then wax .
