Started buffing the ute today. Managed to get the bonnet mostly done, the right guard fully done and the left guard almost done. I was using a wool pad and it caught a few times and was wrecked. Bugger because I would have liked to have finished all the buffing today. Looking at getting another wool pad for the final polish and getting a couple of fine foam pads for the main work as I think the foam ones will be less likely to get snagged on edges of panels etc. I had one little mishap where I held the buff in the one spot working it too long on fresh paint, trying to get the edge nice. In the end I had to web rub it and it will need a touch up coat, which is easy enough. It just would have been nice to have the bonnet all finished properly today but it's not to be. I will get a couple of pics up later in the week, once I get the rest of the car buffed. From what I have achieved today it looks a lot better. At first I thought it wasn't much different but then when you compared the polished to the old you can see how much whiter the polished paint is, where as the old paint is a fair bit cream colour more than white.
