Black Pad Buffing a Car's Paint Job

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. Now Dan is finishing up the job. He is using the machine glaze. It is a 3M product that we are use to using. He is using a black pad which is softer, it cuts more slowly and it is the last step in doing the polishing on this job. We have gone through the paint work, the clear, everything laid out nice. We color sanded up to 2000 grits, buffed with a white pad and a more aggressive compound. Now he is doing the final glaze work. The final polish of it he keeps the buffer going nice to start with so he does not cut too much. This would get you that final killer shine. This is as good as you get with a machine. You have to hold the buffer in such a angle so you are distributing the compound just right. You don't' want to use the edge of the buffer too much. You would cut into the paint and damage it. If you hold it on the center too much, it would wander around a little bit. You can see the angle that he is holding it at. Just put a good flat pressure on there without taking any chance of cutting with the edge or having the buffer spin out of control if you put the weight on the center. You see that he does not spend too much time buffing those sharp corner. You can burn through the clear really fast that way.
