Need Help With Buff!

[Dirtbikeraz125]

Alright so i'm getting my car painted by a friend right now, but the thing is he does not know how to buff. So what should I do? Should I just take it to a body shop and have them buff it out for me? Or should I try it myself? Or would just hand polishing work just as good? Let me know guys I really want my car to shine. thanks --sal--

if you have never done it before i probably wouldnt suggest it...but its not a hard process at all.
You need to wet sand it. make sure there is plenty of water on the body. then while doing this use rubbing compound and a buffer to bring out the shine. Again not hard but you gotta be careful you dont burn thru the paint.

now are u buffing to get just the shine to come thru or is it to get the dirt out of the paint or both??

well i get the car back on thursday so i'll see if there is dirt, and it will most likely be just for it to shine.

your buddy paints and doesnt know how to buff? they sort of go together. kinda scared to see what thats going to look like.

well i just found out that only he does the body work and he pays someone come and paint it for him. I didn't know that at all. I thought he did the body work and painted the car to but he has his friend that owns a body shop come and paint it.

its not that hard to buff. if you got a wheel compound and some pads ill do it for ya, lol. i worked at acura of peoria as a detailer. no one ever complained about the work i did.
