I have a few related questions on clear coat thickness:
1. Is there a way to determine how thick the clearcoat on a vehicle is to know if it is safe to do another round of buffing?
2. Is there a maximum number of buff jobs a vehicle should be put through before it is likely the clearcoat is too thin for another? I realize there are a number of variables to this so it may be impossible to answer.
3. Even after performing 8-10 passes on an area, if the swirls remain can I assume I have not taken too much clearcoat and perform another 8-10 passes, if necessary? I obviously don't want to burn through the clearcoat but something tells me as long as the swirls remain, I must not be removing much, even if it means much more passes than the 6 that is generally recommended per section.
Thanks everyone!
