As I posted in another thread I picked up a buffer. Played with it today. I've read multiple threads on polishing and I have a few questions.
1: I went with wet sanding to start. 600 then 800 then 1000 then 1500 and finally 2000. After wet sanding how do you need to clean the part. I used my ultrasonic to clean it.
2: I buffed it with black then white on different wheels. When changing from black to white does the part need to be cleaned? If so what is best way to clean it?
3: When done buffing what next? Clean it, if so how? Blue Magic then wax, just Blue Magic, or just wax? Or Blue Magic then wax, if so should the part be cleaned before waxing, if so how?
Worked on my original left side cover today. Had spent a lot of times on it in the last couple of years. Could not get it acceptable. The buffer got it a lot better. No where close to show quality but good enough to use.
It started out looking like this.
