Paint correcting can come in many different processes from aggressive to light. Detailers use this process to strip down a micro thin layer of your clear coat to expose a fresh scratch free surface which reveals the true luster of your paint. 

​

Before you do a paint correction you want to wash your vehicle with soap in which can remove any layers of previous wax and after follow up with claying the vehicle so your not collecting the debris on your surface onto the pad in which scratches the paint.

​

Rotary buffer. The rotary buffer is for more aggressive buffing in which if used improperly can harm your paint. This buffer spins on only one axle in which you need to keep this buffer on the move never leaving it running in one spot which creates heat. 

​

Orbital buffer. The orbital buffer is known as the finishing buffer and more safe to use. This buffer rotates on two axles in which the pad doesn't sit in one place unless once again if used improperly.

 

When using a buffer you want to first condition your pad with pad conditioner to help prevent heat all you need is a light mist. I prefer to use many pads unless you only have one pad in result you have to keep cleaning the pad. Now apply 5 fingertip sized dots of prduct onto the pad in different places. You want to work in a small area preferably a 2ft*2ft area. Spread the product on the surface with the buffer off to prevent sling. With the buffer on the surface turn it on at the slowest speed until you spread it on the area in which your working going in a side to side position then next pass up and down. Now that you have the product spread turn the buffer to the desired spead in which depends on the type of buffer and the type of buffer your using. You want to continue the up down side to side motions for about six passes. When complete buff off with a clean microfiber towel and inspect your work.

Polishing is not a very aggressive process in which removes scratches, oxidation, blemishes and more. Depending on the type of polish that is used is how aggressive you can get.
