Hi guys, I'm a newbie!
I've got a set of polished alloys on my old BMW 540i.
They are off the E34 M5 if anyone's interested!
Anyway, after reading through the posts here and reading the handbook (excellent help!), I've got a few questions -
There doesn't seem to be much info on how much pressure or weight you need to put on a buff to get the best/easiest/fastest results, remembering these are alloy wheels.
How do you know if you've got too much/just enough/too little compound on a wheel.
How often do I need to reload the wheel?
I've got sisal wheels with greaseless 80/120/180/300 grit. (I don't use these often!)
I've got spiral wheels that I use grey and green compounds on
And loose wheels that I use blue compound on.
I'm in Scotland and it seems that we use a different colour coding to you guys - I think you use black/brown/white?
Appreciate any help you can give me, I'll try to attach a phot of my last attempt!
Dave
