Paint finishing order of operations
I've never been quite clear on the order of operations when it comes to the final buffing etc. of a new paint job.
What is the proper terminology for the products you need and in what order should they be used? Cutting, buffing, polishing, etc. |

I cut with Eagle yellow 1000, 1500,2000 dry on a 6” 3M dual action. Change disc at first sign of a pigtail. It’s shot at that point. Dry helps to see the peel and trash.
Then Trizact 3000 8000 wet Buff with a black wool pad and ACA 3D 500 on a rotary Polish with a chemical guys green foam pad and Menzerna 3 in 1 on a rotary. Lots of ways to do this. This works for me. If I have any wave I first block it with 600/800 on a hard block. Luckily this doesn’t happen often. Eagle Tolecut blocks and precut sheets work great on runs. Don |

https://eagleguys.com/ I use a Presta wool pad. This one because it interchanges with my foam pads. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Presta-Blac...A/181927881992 Don |
