buffing

[AndySRT]

Well i just ordered up a 7424 porter cable buffer and a detailing kit from autogeekonline. Any tips from you detailers on this board for using one. I understand the basics but anything else i should know before starting?

Thanks

Andy

i would still claybar first, theres bound to be some contaminants in the paint already, plus it will make it even smoother in the long run.

My mother brand new Jeep needed to be clayed. Even if its new, it may still need to be clayed.

ohh thats my plan of attack is to hand wash then clay then try out the porter cable. I couldnt belive the differnce a clay bar made on my friends 04' neon before he went to a mopar show on sunday. the paint went from feelin dull to completely smooth and shiny.I like it when people buy things they don't know how to use and i got to show him how. I couldnt belive the crap i picked up. the clay bar went from white to brown.
