IMO, I never had any success with an orbital. I was taught with a high speed, and once you get the hang of a high speed it is hard to get use to the orbital. Again like anything else there are people that can use orbital and think it is the cats meow, not my thing!

The thing you need to be careful with is anything that is mechanical will scratch paint if you are not familiar with it!

 

anything that is mechcanical will scratch anything imo!!lol

 

today someone slid a cooler into my bed...im glad there was sand on the bottom of the cooler

Thats why I want to learn to buff this crap out

 

^^^ if it aint got a liner, you're wastin your time. beds WILL get scratched 100% of the time you put stuff in there. get a liner and dont worry about the bed anymore

Have a look all through their site:

http://www.meguiars.com

Do the RxPlus questionaire and it'll give you detailed product info and instructions on how to go about it.



Think of the whole process as a multi-step procedure to the perfect shine.

• wash the vehicle - use a "car wash" as dish soap is to harsh.
• dry the vehicle - use your favorite item here - Sham-Wow ???
• spot treat any nasty areas - clay bars, ScratchX
• scrub the body surface - Cleaner Wax, Body Scrub
• finally, polish the surface - Gold Class or NXT Tech Wax

Take the time to learn about the contaminants that affect a vehicle's paint and how to treat the issues caused by the contaminants. Remove the contaminants before the polish. It's the secret to that deep shine that makes the piant pop.

I've been doing the ol' car thing for lotsa years and met "Big John" at the Meguiar's truck at a car show in Carlisle, PA about ten years ago. Wealth of information that guy. I bought one of their Porter/Cable polisher kits that are only sold on the truck. I used it and their products on my '62 Plymouth and it made a tired old red paint job come to life. Made me fall in love with the car all over again. I still got the polisher but the car is gone. The Ram is gonna get it soon.

Also, keep your expectations realistic. If you need a paint job, a spit and polish ain't gonna do the trick.

I have a liner, but its not over the rail...I should have gotten it over the rail, as my rails are scratched to hell

 

i atchually just bought a simoniz buffer it came with like 4 different covers..
im going to debadge my truck would this buffer come in handy instead of scraping the exccess goo with a credit card.

also what head would i use to buff my truck.. i have never buffed anything.

 

Don't quote me but I've found when I debadged my old s10 I used Goo Gone and it did an amazing job on taking the adhesive off from the badges...The stuff was pretty cheap too..
