Polished fender
Flaws in your car's paint can detract from its appearance. You can buff out the flaws with some detailing tools, including a buffer and buffing pads. Buffing the paint is an extensive project that takes concentration. If you do it right, your car will look like new.
Instructions
1. Place 1,000 grit wet sandpaper on the electric buffer. Plug the buffer into a 110 volt outlet.
2. Spray the sandpaper using the spray bottle filled with water. Start buffing the car's exterior by holding the buffing machine firmly against the car's body. You should buff a 2 foot by 2 foot section at a time. The buffing machine will do the actual work by spinning the sandpaper. Spray the sandpaper periodically so that it and surface is constantly wet.
3. Switch to another 1,000 grit sandpaper once you have removed the major flaws. This sandpaper will remove any fine dust particles that may be left on the paint by shearing away a fraction of the clear coat.
4. Take off the wet sandpaper and place a buffing pad on the buffing machine. Put a generous amount of automotive compound on the buffing pad. This should be a medium cut compound, which you can find in any automotive store. Buff a 2 foot by 2 foot section at a time. Wipe the section clean with a rag.
5. Replace the compound buffing pad with a clean buffing pad. Place car polish on the buffing pad and buff each 2 foot square section of the vehicle's body. Use another rag to wipe off any polish residue. Buffing the car with polish creates a long-lasting shine.
