I'm fairly new to buffing and polishing and I'm having some problems with some stamped steel parts for my Pontiac Grand Prix. Essentially, I cannot remove the pits where some the the steel is "streched" from the stamping process (the parts have oxidized some because I need to "walk away" from frustration...2 months ago! :P ):
The other problem is scrathes on these two engine mounts:
My process, ensuring to fully clean the parts between grits and compound changes:
1st Try
--------
Sanding (palm sander/hand: 80, 120, 220, 320, 400 Wet, 600 Wet, 800 Wet
Buff (3/4hp motor w/ 10" wheels): Sisal/Black, Spiral/Brown, Loose/Blue
2nd Try
---------
Sanding: 220, 320, 400 Wet, 600 Wet, 800 Wet
Buff: Spiral/Brown, Loose/Blue
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy
