Only way to "learn" a buffing system is to use it on something that doesn't matter FIRST!
If you haven't "burned" through before seeing the process on a NAV (negative actual value) beater is the way to go. On the "cannot damage" 40-year-old car with perfect paint I don't use power anything. By the time I'm done I wish I had as my 59-year-old arms have far less capacity than I remember. I currently have a 1989 Grand Wagoneer in the shop for mechanical restoration. I believe it is in the top 100 of these still in existence. Always garaged 90K survivor; the factory paint is original and pristine. Horrible orange peel EVENLY distributed on every panel (this is IMPOSSIBLE to re-create by hand). This car CANNOT be color sanded! It would affect the value at 4 figures... No power tools will ever touch this vehicle in my possession. And I'm NOT a Jeep enthusiast. I don't give a rat's ass about Jeeps! Still "concours nice" receives the respect it should from me. Find something nasty to practice on BEFORE doing ANY process to something NICE! |
