Yes thats why imchoping to be able to get it to look decent without taking it into a pro. Either by hand or with the buffer by hand seems safer but its harder and will take longer considering the situation this car is in.
I spent $40 on the buffer it was on sale the pads would be $10 the rubbing compound maybe $30 on the conpound? How much would it cost to have a profetional buff out my car 250+? Id feel safer if i had a paint depth finder so know how much clearcoat i have to work with.
Yea im a DIY but at this point I just want it to look "decent" without spending alot of money and not causing any more damage to the car so should I with DA buffer then with Meguiar's M205 or Menzerna FG400 followed by PF2500 in a test area to be safe? Can it be done by hand?
My goal was to give it a nice finish as it was scratched up that was the reason for buffing and wetsanding. Yes if i take my nail and run it along the surface it looks as if your scraping up wax or rubbing compound still kn the car.
6" Compact Palm Polisher
Long horizontal scratches
It looks like this 90% of the time its only when the sun hits it the car looks foggy and I used 3M Compuesto Pulidor.
I used 3M with a motor buffer and a microfiber pad, I just bought a sheet of sandpaper and sanded. Then I went over it with a clay bar with tutrtle polishing compound then I applied nu finish.
So im trying to figure out whats causing this, I did a little wetsanding with 3,000 grit then I buffed everything out then I went over it with a clay bar with polishing compound after I finished with some nu finish. Now it looks like this?
