I need to get more confident in my buffing technique. Part of my work involves wet-sanding, either light scratches or just-painted bumpers, then buffing them to a shine. No one ever taught me the proper way to buff, so I lose a lot of time. Problems include: 1) slinging the compound all over the place, which means I have to spend time wiping it up; 2) afraid to buff "too much" because I might burn through (which I have done); and 3) not buffing near the edges of panels because I feel I might burn through the edges or the adjacent vertical panel, i.e., on bumpers where a flat surface meets a vertical surface.
We use a waffle foam pad. How should it be cleaned and how often?
