Default Re: Buffing

You might want to start with white/canton to see what it does, then if that's too mild work backward to white/spiral. The type wheel has as much to do with the finish as the compound.

Once you get the scratches out, the red will really make them showy. The blue is really mild - in fact it's used for plastic a lot.

Why use a flex shaft with a drill? - just use the drill. Do not use cheap flex shafts - they won't last. Caswell sells a pretty good heavy one but a drill might not be enough to power it. I use an old refrigerator motor.
