The Buffer you referred to is actually a polisher (I have one here someone bought me as a Christmas present decades ago). Mostly as the 2nd last step (before glaze) on a new paint job. Other more modern guys may have better suggestions, but I am still using these to this very day !ĮDIT: the number of the 3M product is 051131-05928.įinesse-it is a very good product! I have used it probably close to 100 times over the years. It is orbital too, and will do just fine since it is very light weight and that lessens the burn thru chances. The buffer I use for these "gentle" finishing steps is an old plastic Craftsman with a handle on each side. I also use it to re-do for a like new shine if it gets a bit dull. The last bottle I bought has a Roman numeral 2 after the "it", but acts no different. Paul, I always finished off my "buffing" with a 3M product called Finesse-it Finishing Material. Like with the clay bar, avoid edges of panels and high spots, they go through easily. I would still be very careful, even with this compound. If I don't make it back to this thread tonight, shoot me a PM to remind me. I am not home and can't check the number (maybe 39009?) EDIT: 39060, not 39009. It is probably going to be $25 or $30 a bottle. It is pretty expensive, but 3M has cheaper ones in similar looking bottles that just do not have the same effect. Do inconspicuous places first to see.Īfter that, if it needs more, there is a 3M compound that sometimes works miracles. If when you run your hand over it, it does not feel silky smooth like a new car (probably), start with a clay bar kit, to get all the embedded dirt off. I doubt you have enough thickness to colorsand. Lacquer is by nature THIN! Even when built up, it is pretty thin.
