 == Buffing and polishing compounds ==
-Before you buff-out impurities in the paint, you must first get the right power unit to properly buff the paint. Some use a Mikita brand multi-speed buffer. Yes, the rotary buffers may LOOK like a regular angle grinder, it ISN'T. The buffer has a trigger that varies the speed of the wheel, an angle grinder is eiether all or nothing. The speed must be applied to diffrent surface areas,so you absolutely need a multi-speed type.
 know that there are many types of buff heads and i use after pre-sanding 1000-3000 grit paper,a yellow buff foam pad-that is stock with a plastic backing you can find these at any car paint shop.i trim off at least 1/2 inch of plastic off the outer back top of the platic because it hits the paint at weird angles.now for the buffing compounds, i use 00-white buffing compound it is very fine + 1% water,it makes a mess but it works!.now for the buff take a fender, you put the mix on a spot say 0ne foot dia and spread
