This is another one of those topics that it difficult to attain a diffinitive answer to - is it desirable to generate a moderate amount of heat when buffing? Presumably this applys to a rotary, as it is pretty damn hard to generate heat with a PC.
I've read articles and heard discussions argruing for both points of view - one saying the less heat generated the better (auto int. article) and the other saying that a MODERATE amount of heat is desirable because it a) softens the clear a bit, essentially giving you a bit more cut and thus allowing you to remove more defect, and b) it allows the clear to "flow", presumably flowing into scratches to some degree.
Typically I err on the side of less heat is better, but every once in a while when I'm compounding and need a bit more cut on a particular scratch, I tend to heat up the spot just a tad to give me a bit more "bite." But what do I know :doh
Thanks yall.
