Buffing question
Okay this may sound somewhat stupid but I'm going to ask it anyway... I understand the "how and why" of wetsanding, but I'm not sure of the "how" to buff after the wetsanding process. I know it's the final process to bring the shine out of a paint job, but what exactly do you use to do this? Is it an orbital buffer? Do you use compounds? Could someone tell me how it's done? A C4 buddy of mine painted his car in his garage. It came out pretty good except for the orange peel. He wetsanded starting with 800 and going up eventually to 2000. He got most of the peel out, lost patience, and proceeded to buff. The end result was okay, but by his own admission could have been better. I would like to know the correct process as eventually I just might try to paint my car myself.

While you might get some responses here, you might also post (if you haven't all ready) your question in the Paint/Body Shop Forum at this address:

I know that every paint guy has his own formula depending on amount of peel, type of clear coat, etc.
