Just got a DA (dual action) buffer/polisher now what?
Posted on July 30th, 2009 by admin
Ok guys i just got this cheap little dual-action buffer/polisher from wal-mart. I was going to use it after i wet sand my car. But i read wet sanding marks are better removed by rotary buffer so im not gonna do that. So instead i got some 3m rubbing compound, turtle wax polishing compound, and some turtle wax super hard shell. I just wanted to check with some people who probably know more than me, to make sure i dont mess up my paint. Although its pretty rough now lol. Im just looking to get rid of some fine scratches my car came with when i bought it.
The DA polisher/buffer came with a wool pad, a foam pad, and a micro-fiber bonnet. The buffer didnt come with instructions. So heres what im guessing from what ive learned watching some Meguires youtube videos. First i wash me car real nice . Then I use the Rubbing compound with the wool pad, after that i use the foam pad with the polishing compound, and after all that a fine coat of turtle wax to keep it protected with the microfiber bonnet. What do yall think? Will that be good? Oh yeah i still need to purchase a claybar… Oh well thats another day…
Sounds like you’ve got it right.
