I done with the buffer now. Took the pad off and put it away.
I cut a section of a buffing pad and went over 3/4 of the car by hand to get the swirl marks out. Water in the buffing pad and same rubbing compound. I got the passenger side left to do.
I got one spot half dollar sized where the metallic laid wrong. Other 2 fixes are invisible. Really got to look for that spot and the light got to be just right. Looking directly at it. It isnt there. If it really bugs me I will screw with it when the car is driving. I doubt it tho. It just don't grab your eye.
Overall it turned out good. Has issues most of which you couldn't see if I pointed them out. Not perfect but nothing to be ashamed about for a first attempt in a garage. I am totally satisfied and happy.
Next after I finish the hand buffing. I going to clean the junk out of the cracks, the walls, the tools, the neibors cars LOL. That stuff is everywhere. Wash it real good. Then sand out the tape lines in the seams and buff and blend the surfaces together.
Then take a break and get the gardens ready for flower and vegetables. Cut that silly tree that fell in the winter storm. Rake the branches up. Get ready for spring. Then go back to putting on weather stripping and seals and chrome I got in the trunk.
