Some GOOD advice

[TrufflePig]

was told today to use a bonnet over JUST a backing plate to buff the car.

no pad needed or nothing.

i was thinking, is this guy for real? come on now.

thats what he told me, and when i said no way, he was like well why the hell do they make the buffing pads for then.

when he said that i just stopped.

you do need a pad to put a bonnet over!!
you can use a W7006 because it has a good stiffness to it, but personally i have tried other pads (w8006, W9006) with a bonnet over them and it works fine. Just make sure that the pad is clean

oh yeah sneek i knew the guy was crazy and that i wasn't losing my mind.

i've asked people enough questions via PM to know at least this much info.

haaaaaaaaaa

crazy that guy. crazy i tell ya.

i'd love to see his car after a buffing job with no pad and just a bonnet.

Yeah, there's Car Crazy and then there's this guy; your everyday, run of the mill, just plain crazy.

Could be he’s only familiar with “old school” products.

Many rotary buffers still come with soft rubber backing plates to be use with tie-on wool bonnets. (Most guys who know what they’re doing toss ‘em.)


Just the thing for polishing out your Maverick before you put on your platform shoes, bell-bottom pants and gold chains for a night of getting funky.
