Yeah I know! I totally agree with you. The first picture is horrible.

Personally I love buffing a car and so am hesitant as to whether I want to work for a company that primarily seeks to use this stuff in replacement to traditional buffing.

Here's another one with the spray applied to chipped paint. This one is more impressive and looks like a new paint job. What do you all think? [/IMG]

Here's a picture I found from a company that uses the technology. Not that impressive but maybe worth it for some from cost point of view compared to repainting?? [/IMG]

A few pictures of the fx clear coat spray system at work instead of cutting and buffing. These pics are from another website. See clear-fx.com for more. Is this the way forward? Can it replace traditional cutting and buffing? A genuine question I am pondering but I do prefer using a buffer.

As I understand it the quality might not be quite as good as polishing but takes less than half the time it would to buff and therefore can be offered at a much cheaper price to still get a decent finish. The website also talks about how buffing is reducing the clear coat protection while the fx...

Hey guys have you come across this website - clear-fx.com? Just wondered what your thoughts on it are? I have a potential job offer to work in the auto detailing department at a company that uses this clear coat restoration technology. They say that it's much better than buffing and polishing...

Hey guys I have an aluminium boat to buff this weekend. Will my Porter cable and an ornate ccs cutting pad work followed by a polishing stage?? I have seen different pads used for buffing aluminium (wheel) but I don't own one. Is there a big difference between using a compound like m105 and a...

Hey guys I have an aluminium boat to buff this weekend. Will my Porter cable and a cutting oad work followed by a polishing stage?? Is there a big difference between using a compound like m105 and a specific paste made for aluminium? Is it worth also wet sanding a little beforehand?

Hey guys I am having trouble finishing up swirl free with the rotary buffer. Yesterday I worked on a black car. I cut it with a yellow medium foam pad, medium compound, 2200 rpm. I then buffed it with a blue soft polishing pad, polish, 1800rpm. I then finished with a hand wax. The car was...

This is really helpful, thank you. Another question - am I likely to leave swirls etc if I am only using a light cutting pad with a GS1 leveling polish (not compound)? I assume it's possible but less likely compared to a compound/medium cutting pad stage?
