This is my passenger side paint from 95 that I freaking compounded and waxed today. In the shade in the daylight it looks "good" but I want all these swirls and scratches gone. This is just from years and years of me drying my truck with a towel I guess. I'm guessing this compound and wax I used today isn't abrasive enough...I really need to figure out wtf to do I'm so confused. Essentially all of my 95 paint looks like that I want to get this fixed asap. This next weekend I want to get it all done.
and yeah that thing you posted is essentially the same as the buffer I got. I'm thinking I need a more abrasive product and maybe another buffer nono that actually spins but I sure hope not. I don't mind buying better product but I don't wanna have to buy a $120 porter cable thing.
If you use a 3M anti-swirl, with your buffer, you will be able to get alot of those swirls out. You should be able to get by using the orbital buffer you bought, but there is a BIG difference in buffers. Especially with variable speed, because you'll find that certain applications require different speeds. I have a black & Decker variable speed buffer and a FLEX variable speed buffer. The FLEX is leaps and bounds better then the the black & decker.
1. Start by washing the truck completely
2. Using a wool pad, use the appropriate Buffing Compound, after going over the entire body (or desired pannels) wash the truck again to get any of the excess compound splatter off
3. Using a foam pad on your buffer, use the 3M anti-swirl glaze (Part # 39809 IIRC) and go over the body again. You'll find once your finished that you will very few swirl marks left.
The back to black stuff you see in the auto parts stores is honestly a joke, if you know what your doing you'll get next to perfect results using the method i described! Hope this helps a bit for ya man!
