Charlie's got the program figured out. The thing, is as you get better
at it you keep going back and redoing your earlier parts.
Key to buffing is be sure your wheel is spining at 3000 rpms+ to get the
part heated/friction....heat = shine. If your motor slows down too much
when your buffing the part you need bigger motor. I picked up a Sears
buffer on sale for $99.00 that ripped the cord in two when I let it get
near the spinning wheel.....now that's torque!!!
P.S. don't do it in the house, dust goes everywhere.
