  • Buffing with Bonnets

    Hey everyone. I recently got my first buffer which is an orbital so not to burn anything. I am one of those who like to get it right the 1st time. I will be practicing on a few cars that will be ok if I mess up. But anyways my question is for those who use the Orbital type buffers, what type of method do you like and why.
    I got this buffer, its cheap but light and has a 10" surface area which has been remarked to make it faster and easier to do multiple coats.


    I was given a few packs of Bonnets which will fit, but most internet resources revolved around the smaller diameter foam pads and based on my research, no one offers anything in foam above 7-8"
    So going from there what bonnets do I used at a given point.
    Applying
    Buffing
    Polish
    Removal
    I use sources like Autotopia and Autogeek.net which are great but again are based largly on the Foam Pad method.
    Any insight and possibly references are appreciated.
    Also looking for good products to use with Bonnets.

    You can actually get foam bonnets off of amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Carrand-Foam-B...9569383&sr=1-6

    I would get a few of these for waxes, polishes and such. You will not and can not mess up anything with that buffer.
