    Rotory

    How to use the rotory buffer
    I just buffed my Toyota Avalon with a lake country yellow very soft buffing pad with autofinesse triple with my makita at speed 1
    Now I have hologram. But no haze the paint never looked so clear.. What did I do wrong.

    Used a rotary. You should follow up with foam to remove the swirls.

    Believe it or not I used gg6 and rupes 15 on it to remove the swirls but no matter what I did I could never get it to Finnish haze free..
    I went with speed 1 on the rotory with a very soft pad and the gentle pollish and no more haze. But I did creat holograms..
    I have only done the hood so far I worked the polish in concentrating on keeping the pad flat but it just didn't work out so just looking for some pointers.

    What color is your Avalon? IIRC Makita at 1 is like 600rpm which is very slow. Plus using a soft yellow pad should not create holograms unless you were buffing on edge and not keeping the pad flat. Some soft paints just will not finish down correctly and need a DA to finish down.

    This paint is very soft swirls and scratches easy
    And chips just as easy
    And I am thinking this paint is thinner than the average bear..
