Re: broke out the buffer!
Buffing is when you use a high speed rotary tool and actualy very lightly cut down into the clear coat, and make it shine again. I used a 10" high speed buffer, a soft foam pad, shinemaster's finish cut compound, and went over the entire car twice. It took about 2hrs starting and stopping here and there for breaks, then waxing it when i was done, to protect the paint.

Looks nice & shiny! Amazing what a good polish and buffer will do.

Heh heh, I've debated whether or not to polish it since under direct light it has very, very minimal micromarring which could easily be filled in with a glaze, but we will see tomorrow under the 1000W halogens.
I'm more interested in how the Rug Doctor will do.
