Re: Buffing clear coat

Heat is what burns thru clear-a wool pad generates heat-a foam one does not. I would use 3M micro polish/glaze with a yellow foam pad. Edges are fine if using a foam pad-wool pad is a no no near edges or small body lines-stick with big areas if using a wool pad. I prefer to use 3M Hook-it pads on a Makita buffer. The Makita I use has 6 speeds and each setting is variable on the trigger-and it's lightweight ta boot too!

Depending on how many coats of clear was sprayed you could do a show finish wet cut/buff to restore it like new (2000/3000 grit) IF there are fine scratches BUT....if you have no experience cutting/buffing, I'd stick to just trying various polishing compounds using a quality buffer/pads.
