Re: [MBZ] Detailing tools
You can do as much damage with a DA buffer as a rotary of you don’t know what you’re doing. However, using a DA is far easier for the novice and the resources for how to use one are plentiful. The material you use is critical as well. I try ti stick with 3M or Meguire’s materials, as they’re the most “honest” as I’ve found as far as performance. The best approach to cleaning up a finish is to start in an obscure area, like the right rear door so if you screw up you don’t have to look at it every time you walk up to the car, and begin with the least aggressive material and move up gradually until you obtain the results you want. The single stage paints that Mercedes used during this time period are extremely forgiving and easy to work with. I’ve recovered finishes on cars of this vintage that others have refused to touch. -D > On Jan 26, 2021, at 2:32 PM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > wrote: > > I am very Leary of using a powerful buffer because I have seen people burn > through paint.

Re: [MBZ] Detailing tools
I always use a speed controller when I use a buffer. It gives much greater control. If there is heavy oxidation, do multiple buffs. First pass with a more aggressive cutting material. Then clean the car, inspect what you have gained, and decide if you want to take another pass with an aggressive cut or switch to the next step of finer cut material... ALWAYS use a clean pad, and ALWAYS clean the car between passes. Use a light touch on the buffer, let it float across the surface and let the cutting paste do the work. Keep an eye on the pad, before it gets loaded up with dead paint material, clean it or switch to a fresh one.
