Buffed the Car this Weekend Pics Inside
This was the Original Thread
This was my first time out with my Orbital Buffer and I must say I was very impressed. I am not still sold on the Bonnet vs. Pad thing but the 10" cheapo model was light and did large areas with ease. I think this buffer works perfect for my Buick Century and my Wife's HHR but I think a Porter Cable maybe more applicable to the T/A. We will see.
Let me say that this process took me a while to do, correctly. I am VERY pleased 1st time out with it and I spent most of the time making sure I was buffing correctly and that the polish/glaze/and wax broke down properly. As well as getting it off.
The car is VERY well maintained but is stored in a place that has a bad roof and my "BEFORE" pics could not pick up on the hard water spots on the car, nor some of the transfer from the roof but needless to say, she needed a bath.
Here was my Process.
Wash- Maguire's Gold Class (had extra and other stuff I had. Had wax integrated)
Dry- Beat up Bathroom towels to get the heavy water, Microfiber for the rest
Clay Bar- Mother's and the car had allot on the hood and bumper
Wash- YES, you do need to do this
Dry- Same as the first.
Polish- No real swirls so I used Maguire's Cleaner Wax (paste)
Glaze- Maguire's Professional Glaze Show Car #7 (liquid)
Wax- Mags NXT GENERATION TECH WAX 2.0 PASTE (paste)
I used a applicator to apply to car, buffer to work it, and microfiber to remove except with the wax step, I used terry cloth.
This took from 7:30am to about 1:00pm and I work nearly every minute but the results are nothing short of spectacular. I ended up using Mag's Ultimate Quick Detailer as it acts as a combo of Speed Detailer and another layer of wax/water repellant.
PICS!
