Anyone very knowledgeable about detailing?
On one of the other lists I subscribe to, there are several people talking
about ">in other words, I'd like a primer on random orbital waxing !!!"
That might be a great article for The Brickline. We have both painted and
acrylic cars. I know there are differences in buffers. I had one of the
vertical buffers (looks like a router) that I tried to buff up the firewall
on my Morgan after I'd painted and sanded - /w 2000 grit. But I couldn't
get the shine to come back - so I repainted it. However, when I "color
sanded" the Morgan to get all the orange peel and overspray off, I used
a Black & Decker 2 speed buffer - looks like a grinder. I had a friend
that had done this to several of his cars (he'd also had a body shop class
when he was in High School - which I haven't). Unfortunately, B&D no
longer makes that particular buffer.
I'd love to see a good article on how to buff/polish a car:
1. acrylic
2. newly painted car,
3. maintaining an older painted car.
4. recommendations for a good buffer - the difference between a buffer and
a polisher (if there is such a thing).
Unfortunatley, my friend is in England now and has been for the last 2 yrs.
So I can't get him to write one. And as I've said many a time, "I'm just
a hack".
