Re: How to buff off an edge when using a rotary buffer
Great tips Mike!
Quick question here about Rotary pads.
Now you can use both wool and foam on them, both have there benefits and downfalls.
But I you dont already, can you do a little segment on the different types of pads work best, and also how wool pads very?
Thanks!

Good information!
Do you recommend maintaining same RPM on an edge as say, the hood or door panel? If you want to step it down, how much do you want to step the RPM down by?

To do a really fair and in-depth article or video on all the different pads would be a huge undertaking. It's a good idea but pads change so often. The big picture answer is use aggressive wool pads for fast cutting for serious/deep defects or to remove sanding marks after wetsanding.
Use foam cutting, polishing and finishing pads whenever you can as foam tend to always finish out better than wool pads, at least with a rotary buffer. I should have some good pictures from the AMX wetsanding project to add to this thread showing close-ups of panels being buffed out.

I do a lot of careful or surgical buffing with a range of 400 RPM to 1000 RPM and 1000 RPM to 1500 RPM for tackling major, larger panels.
A lot of your speed depends upon what you're trying to do.

***Update***
Video link fixed.
A couple of years ago when we upgraded the vBulletin forum software all the video codes became jumbled.
Anytime I find broken video code I try to fix it on the fly...
