detailing

hi well im the guy you want to talk to about scratches. im a professional car detailer. the answer to your question is. using a high speed buffer with variable controls you start by buffing the scratch with compound on a white wool pad , then change to a yellow wool pad and use FINESSE its white in color. this will remove all scratches and have a soft like touch to your paint. then you need to change the pad to a foam pad and use liquid swirl remover. this gets all the swirls out from buffing. then by hand take hand glaze made by 3m and apply that to one panel at a time remove with soft terry towel. then wax then your car will look new. for more questions contact me at mike23_782000@yahoo.com

Buffers are expensive, easy to f*** up your paint, and not even worth it until you decide your going to be polishing on a regular basis. For someone who is just learning about car care, and might need to wax/polish MAYBE twice a year, a buffer just isnt worth the investment. If you haven't already, stick with the simple compounds Matt.

well actually buying a buffer is not expensive if you want to spend 2-3 thousand dollars on a new paint job go ahead. buffer can go anywhere between 70-290 dollars i have a dewalt and makeeta. anyone can buff you just gotta follow directions and dont stay in the same spot to long. maybe its easier for me cause im a prof. detailer but i started not knowing anything. polishing by hand isnt gonna get out scratches that are deep. if a scratch is fingernail deep it isnt coming out anything else will come out.
