Re: First time you buffed a car

Always waxed by hand, in 93 bought a brand new truck. My kids for fathers day got me a b+d handy buffer. Did such a good job I went thru the majority of the cc. i still kept the truck for 12 years. I miss that truck.

Re: First time you buffed a car

First time.. I think it was in 1998 or so, I was 17 years old, borrows my uncle's Makita (which I later got from him) and "attacked" my moms solid black, one year old Toyota Celica with a wool pad and some cheap Turtle cleaner. The result was.. well.. not very good!

No permanent damage and she didn't notice a zillion swirls and holograms, but when my technique improved, it took quite a lot of work the two next years to restore the finish.

reviving the thread...


what did you do wrong? what did he say when he came running out?

He was pretty cool about it. Phaze glaze isnt very abrasive so no serious damage was done. He just had me slow down on my passes and not angle so much.

I thought I knew it all at 19. Wish I knew then what I know now.(Woudnt you love a dollar for everytime you heard that.)
