Wow.....man I just re-read through this whole thread and I came to realize just how much things change in such a short period of time.....in regards to how I now buff out cars.
I no longer use a QD to wet my pads before buffing, I now use both 6 and 8 inch pads with my rotary when I use to use mainly 6in pads and I no longer use #9, #3 or 3M and I only use a few Hi-Temp products.
I also made a few typos, like when I stated I apply sealants with the PC. I never do that
I also no longer buff in a figure 8 pattern but more of a cross stitch type pattern. I read my replies and I laughed cause I don't do many of those things now.
