  • I buffed today

    I tired the SO10 product for the first time today! Seem to work OK for not doing any buffing for about 18 years. This is what I experienced with a clear coat that is 7 weeks old and wet sanded with 1500 grit only. I did the buffing under fluorescent lights



    1. Started with yellow wool pad, did not cut enough
    2. Went to the red wool pad, cut nicely but again not fast enough. I had to make several passes to get the sanding scratches out. I tired different speeds and pressures but it seemed to me I should be using a stronger cutting product, maybe because of the 1500 grit used.
    3. Tired the yellow foam pad, that was nice and left a very good finish even took a little more of the fine scratches out.
    4. Tired the black foam pad that was nicer yet.

    Now for my questions:


    • How long do you spend on a 2’ x 3’ panel section? When tying to remove sanding scratches? I worked on mine for about 20 minutes (trying different pads) and there is still some showing. Very slight orange peel too.
    • How much pressure do you use when buffing out sanding scratches?
    • Should I go over the entire car with 2000 grit or go to maybe the M95 or M105?
    • When using M86 how long do you work it? When haze is gone or just slightly showing?

    Any other advice is welcome. Other then the above all went well today
