Re: Tips on buffer trail prevention

Firstly i am gonna try it on a completely dry pad with much longer work in times as i suspected could be the problem. I hope I didn't shave too much clear off during my last polish. I would see buffer trails and then reapply the polish to the pad and try again until they were mostly gone.
I'm pretty sure you have pleny of clear coat on the car and I wouldn't sweat it. Just work the polish much longer (I probably make 10-15 passes over a 2.5 x 2.5 area, then throttle back and make a couple more).
