hey guys new to the forum. i work at a body shop as a prepper. time and time again we're buffing out trash. i cant seem to get the buffer to work with me. i use a dewalt buffer. not sure on the part number, ive been there almost 3yrs and its been there since i have so its probably old. using all 3m products heres what im using. all the pads and compounds are color coated.



step 1:

white pad foam pad(i feel this thing is REALLY agressive. i can feel the texture when i rub my hand across it.) white compound.

cant find a bigger picture.

now anytime i do this, i always always always get machine swirls. i never go over the lowest setting(1000 rpm).

theres also another method i use and its get swirls. its a 3m product with a turquoise green lable and i just put that on with a black polishing bad and sometimes follow up with a light blue polish. im not having problems gettin 3000 scratches out but not putting machine swirls in. please help guys. sorry for such a long thread.

thanks in advance.

Ryan
