I was thinking and realized that somehow I have never had a customer with a saturn or anysort of car with composite body panels. (Excluding fiberglass i.e. vettes) How well, as compared to steel, do these types of bodys disapate heat? Do they disapate it any better than a soft flexible urethane bumper? I have just been wondering.

Hey,
With the PC, there is little difference with the composite panels. I have heard some say that you may develop more static charge to the paint, but that may be more a factor of humidity than actual buffing.
However, with the rotary buffer, there is a difference, IMO. The composite panels do not dissipate the heat as well as metal panels. As a result, if you are using higher speeds with the rotary or being a little aggressive, the panels get pretty hot. So hot that sometimes you can actually "bunch-up" the paint!
Here is an intro I did to wet sanding where I purposely over heated the composite panel to show what could happen if you are not careful.

Oh yes, I know all about the way urethanes and rotarys have a special relationship! lol I kind of worded my quesiton horribly lol. Lets try again: How does the heat dissapation with a composite panel compare to a soft urethane? I assume it would be about the same. More than likely whem the time comes that a saturn or other type car comes my way, I would only use the w7000 as a spot treatment and then do the entire car with the w8000.Rangerpowersports.com
