Buffing Equipment Used to Repair Car Paint

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Doug I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Buffing requires 2 or 3 tools, a few pads, a couple of different compounds. I would make it as simple as I can. The wool pad is the more aggressive pad. If you want to get the most shine on the biggest surface as fast as possible, you start with a wool pad. 3 brand compound is the most common in the industry. It is more aggressive compound, this is the most aggressive pad. Your next stage would be to use the white pad that you see Dan using here on the 32 Ford grill shell. That pad is a little bit less aggressive. You use it on smaller pieces on smaller jobs. It goes more slowly but it is exactly the same job that the wool pad does. Here is a example of that white pad on a smaller buffer that is driven by a buffer and it is for getting little nooks and crannies. The trigger is here and it is harder to vary the speed of it but it is not very powerful but it is hard to damage things with. The final step is the black pad with machine glaze. So the first 2 steps on a big job would be the wool pad and then the white pad with protected 3. The final stage is a black pad. This is the least aggressive pad that makes that least heat, it cuts the least amount and you use this to get that last killer shine.
