Help out a novice. I have a rotary buffer, it has a heavy wool pad on it. I have used it to buff out my car and remove bugs and such. It does a nice job at it but I always get swirl marks. I have tried Maguires swirl remover, it only hides them for a while. I even tried using that as a polishing compund. I tend to put some wet polishing compound on and hold the buffer at about a 30 degree angle to the panel and work back and forth. What is the proper technique for using a rotary buffer? I have been reading some of the forums, and it seems there are different pads to use? and what should I be using for a polishing compund? My goal is a once a year car cleaning, to get off bugs, and scratches. Then a follow up with wax. Is the rotary acceptable for use with waxes?
