I let a student "try" to machine sand a headlight with a rotary buffer. I told EVERYONE ahead of time exactly what was going to happen. And it happened.
He tilted the backing plate/sanding disc for a brief moment and gouged into the plastic.
It took me about 30 minutes of block sanding to flatten out the plastic. Longer for the whole ordeal.
There's some people that will not listen, they have to make the mistake in order to learn.
Sometimes you just have to go old school and work by hand.
Me? I'm more of a BIG PICTURE detailer, I get cars real good. Perfection is a noble goal but usually never profitable or appreciated.
