so nice detail shop and have the porter cable for use on the next detail witch should be easier since it will be in better shape.
yeah i can run my nail and i will feel the scratch
So what products and with what buffer do you guys use. like polishe,wax,cutting compound?
Here's a an example of one of our buffer kits. Usually it comes with 2 Lake Country CCS orange and 1 blue CCS finishing foam pad. We can help you customize for your needs. For heavier scratches, a yellow cutting pad may be necessary to level selected surface areas to remove the deeper scratches or make them less noticeable. We like to use it with 3M Perfect-It II Rubbing Compound.

An orange pad with Swirl Cutter can be used after the yellow to restore the clarity to the clear coat after cutting with compound. A white foam pad/Swirl Cutter combination will also help to refine and smooth the surface before using a blue foam pad to apply the liquid wax such as our TC-2 Liquid Wax or TC-3 sealant.

As a beginner or novice, it's best to start with the least aggressive approach and increase only as necessary to get desired results.

k bro, well first you need to get a buffer and a medium pad with medium compound. After buffing use paint perfection glaze and a polishing pad. that should do it
