  • da buffer

    i need some advice on the da buffer. i am used to using a rotary buffer but always have swirls left over no matter what. are there any online videos with instruction on use of the da? also, the small pads and buffing small sections with the da seems like it would cause a great deal of swirls but people say the da leaves no swirls. after applying polish and glaze with the da do you apply sealant with the da or by hand?

    Yes, smaller pads can lead to swirls if you're not careful, you want to also be using the pad and products for the job at hand and if you see you're putting swirls in stop.

    Personally I do everything I can by machine as it's easier and faster and the machine always outperforms the hand.

      As far as video instructions go, this one is pretty good. http://www.autodetailingsolutions.co...ailing_dvd.htm

      I found it really useful to actually "see" some of the technique involved and also waylay my initial fear of polishing with a power tool.

        I, personally never had a issue with swirls, since using the G100. Watch the video, that Mort suggested it should help you out quite a bit.
