what can i use to buff my car?
what can i use to buff my car?
after getting the car back from the bodyshop, it's got a rough feel around the areas that were not painted.
the guy's willing to pick up the tab for a place to buff the car for me, but i'm thinking maybe i'd rather do it myself.
i have a buffer (which i don't use on my car cause i do everything by hand), but what product can i use to buff out the roughness, without damaging the clear?

something with the edit was messed up
It sounds like some areas were painted to light which is not uncommon what we do is wet sand them to get it smooth then compound it and polish it. We ussualy do whole cars after theve been painted (not all over but areas that the light hits ex. hood tops of bumpers & fenders etc..) not because its rough but to get a glassy finish while doing this we get rid of some "dry" spots as well. If it is a small area on your car I would say go for it. if its all over or in many spots take it to the pro.
