    Hey All,

    I work for a dealership specializng in European Imports: Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Corvette, Audi and the like. I spent a number of years as a antique refinisher using siphon feed spray equipment to apply catalytic laquers. With alot of empahasis on high-gloss finished products so I have a decent understanding of clear finishes. Wet sanding is very familiar to me and ultimately want to be able to provide this service to my employer, instead of sending it out of house. Any help would be apreciated.

    I recently purchased a Porter Cable variable speed buffer and have buffed many cars using Mequiars #2 High Tech Cleaner, followed by a hand rubbed Carnuba wax. Do I need a machine exclusively for cutting and sanding?

        A rotary polisher (also called a high-speed polisher) is the tool to use with products like M105 to remove sanding marks with relative ease.

        You can then either finish out with the rotary and a product such as M82, or use your Porter Cable.

          Thanks for the info. I'll be picking up a high-speed polisher soon. I think I will experiment on my car before I take the plunge at work.

                  Just to note, this forum is to "Introduce yourself" to the community, not ask how-to or product related questions. If we start answering questions in this forum then it becomes a the Detailing 101 forum.

                  Make sense?


                  Here's the link to the Detailing 101 forum which is a great catch-all forum and if you don't know which of other forums to post your questions then Detailing 101 is always perfectly acceptable

                  Thanks!
