    3M PPF

    Quick question, Can you buff/polish PPF?
    My initial thoughts is no, am I right?
    If you can how would you do it and with what?

    Thanks!

    The short answer is yes....you have to watch the edges big time...
    Many people seal/wax
    If you go that route, make sure that the wax you will be using does not contain Kerosene or Naphtha in over 5% concentration. Also avoid waxes that come with dyes.

    Okay, thank you. The main problem I have are water spots. They seem to be etched in. I’m just nervous about trying to buff them out

    start with non aggressive polish first...don't hang in one spot too long...inspect often to check results

    you might not get the results you want with that combo...although to be safe it sure is about as mild as you can start with

    The other options would be Griot’s 3-1 or their Complete Polish

    If you have water spots I'd go with CC and a red/black pad
