Most of the polishing is done by machine due to the human body not having the capability to make thousands of orbits per minute. removal is mostly done by hand with a high quality MF towel because bonnets on the PC cake up with product too fast and the quality of the MF in bonnets is normally not as good as that of towels (and this can cause scratching in the paint that you just polished to perfection!)
I hope that helps  |
I always thought buffing was actually removing the product.
And, yes, that did help if i understood your post correctly.
But everytime I have ever waxed my truck the hardest part of the whole process was getting the wax off. Having to vigourously move the towel around while applying pressure.
I'm kinda bummed now, what good is a PC if i'm still gonna have to do all the removal by hand, thats the hard part, isn't it?
Maybe I've been waxing my truck all wrong.
I would basically float the applicator over the surface until there was sufficient enough product, i'd let it dry, then remove it by applying pressure and moving the towel back and forth very fast.
Do I need to be putting pressure down when applying the wax?
Like working it into the paint?
If the answers to my questions above are all "yes" then I apologize If I seem like a *******...
I suppose I was taught all wrong.
