Hi all,
I`m new to the car detailing "obsession", and my car is in need of some TLC on the paint work. I feel that I can handle all of the interior, engine, wheels etc. with the help of David B`s tutuorials......HOWEVER, this power polishing seems to be another beast so to speak.
I have a 2005 Acura 1.7 EL....in black....and the previous owner loved to use brushes at the car wash. Yikes!
In any event, the car has quite a few swirls, but what appears to be LOTS of clear coat from speaking to other detailers in the city. I have others who agreed to do the work for me at a niminal fee, but I want to learn myself!
In reading about rotary buffers I`m not sure what to think. Some say they`re easy to use, while others say leave it up to the pros.
In any event, when I reach the 10 post mark I will attach photos to give you a better idea of what needs to be done.
Any help in guiding me through the vast selection of a Rotary (or Dual action) buffers, polish, pads, technique, etc. would be grealy appreciated!
Thanks,
David.
