Polishing a truck and the unpainted areas.

I don’t know exactly what’s used on the paint but I do know it’s best to have experience with the buffer. If the paint is dead (faded out) it’ll buff up pretty good but it won’t last long at all..

The paint is quite easily burnt off with the buffer especially on edges/corners so that’s why I say experience is important. If you don’t mind screwing up the paint here and there then have at it!

Perhaps practice on the wife’s or kids car’s first

 

I’m not going to recommend what to use on the paint cuz it all varies how bad it is, I will say using a buffer on paint is like night and day to using it on aluminum. Paint uses low rpm and aluminum is high speed(grinder speed). Using high speed on paint will burn it.

 

Try rubbing compound first by hand, then wax. You will be pleasantly surprised

 

That’s a polisher for paint. Aluminum you need like-a grinder type for speed. Aluminum and paint use different type of pads.

 

If your wanting to bring back the shine on paint use a product called Rejuvenator and use a waffle pad on a actual buffer run the pad at 1800 to 2200 rpm it’s a mild cutting compound so read the directions ever paint job is different so you need to understand the type and condition of the paint your working with sometimes your best bet is to use a clay bar or ceramic wax it just depends on the paint condition . You also need to know if it is single stage paint or base coat clear coat if it is the later you are better off not using a cuttting compound and just try some sort of wax product you start trying to use any sort of cutting compound on paint that has a clear coat you better be on you A game cause you’ll have a
Mess in a hurry if you burn through the clear coat
