Ya, but your gonna sweat your ass off and it will never look anywhere near as good. You're better off just getting a buffer and doing it in 1/10th the time. That's what I need to invest in and learn how to use.




So what's being said here is that if I get a porter cable buffer I don't have to worry about burning the paint? Good to know cuz I don't know jack about buffing.

 

ofcousre a buffer is needed, else you will be sore lol


Burning happens from letting the buffer sit in one spot, (correct me if im wrong)

Turbo Wax has some really good ****.

 

Again to show you guys that you don't need to break the bank to obtain good results. At times, people are intimidated by the use of a porter cable, but in reality, it's a small and simple machine to use.

Two thousand and something Corvette hood, unknown condition, loaned to us for an upcoming show. The following steps were used.

1) Wash/Oxidation Block
2) Dry
3) Using the orange foam pad, starting with a speed of 3, and eventually to 6. Using Our Medium Cut Compound.
4) Using our Swirl Mark Remover, with a black foam pad. Same speeds.
5) Apply wax by hand, and remove it with a black foam pad.

Although there are many other ways to accomplish these results, this was the most efficient pad combination for this particular job. I figured I'd share some of the ways we complete jobs.

 

x2. I used it for the first time just over a month ago to apply the pre-wax and wax to my car. Now admittedly I used WAY too much pre-wax because I was accustomed to doing it by hand so it took me a while to get it off. Come wax application I had a better feel for it, used the right amount and as the pad saturated I had to apply less and less but got the same coverage. Excellent results .

I intend to give the swirl remover a try when I work up the courage and ambition to do it all over again. Mind you, the dumb dumb dealer ran it through their wash last time I was there so looks like I have an excuse to rewax it again
