J.O.A.T.
I have searched high and low and did not find any specific post on paint correction with cut and buff. I pieced a lot of member Jim C's stuff together from many many posts but I still have a few questions. This is on my Ford hood with SPI Single Stage Red in my original post on reducing a few weeks ago.
I followed most of the "protocol" to cut it. I changed some brands, and grits, but nothing wild. The hood looks good. I went out to 5000, not 8000. I feel I am ready for buffing part now. bit I am a bit confused on the process and the materials required.
Question 1: Why use a wool pad if we have sanded to 5-8k? I thought the wool pad purpose was to cut? Am I missing something. i mainly want to make certain, that even after sanding to high grits we still starting back to zero on the buffing step1 with a wool pad?
Question 2: What type and brand compounds and at when to use them? Pads? I did find the Lake Country is the consensus on the wool pad.
Question 3: Any tips, washing, cleaning between steps, etc.
Question 4: I plan on using my PC RA https://www.portercable.com/product/7346sp/6-variable-speed-random-orbit-sander-polishing-pad . I can't slow it down as much as I would like, but I know that going into it.....mistake? Buy a dedicated tool? My thinking is the RA action is more forgiving. I may be way off base here.
Forgive me as I have never done this nor seen it done.
