final buff wheel
final buff wheel
After searching the forum to find what to use for a final dry buff I'm still not sure. I thought the Beal wax buff wheel would be a good choice but then I saw the loose wheel that Delvie's sells. what works best for a final buff, a loose wheel or a stitched wheel? Thanks for any suggestions,Norm.

I like to use a soft, unstiched, flannel buff as my last step. I also crank the speed way down as well.

Double raised cotton is what I use for all my buffs, softest buff you can get and work very nicely.

I find my tripoli wheel likes to take the stain off around edges unless I use really light contact does the softer buff fix that? think currently using loose sewn cotton

I've had good luck using a string wheel for all final buffs.

Try slowing the wheel down if you are able. It helped me a lot.futodugouts wrote:I find my tripoli wheel likes to take the stain off around edges unless I use really light contact does the softer buff fix that? think currently using loose sewn cotton

Tripoli, in fact any buff will take off stain on edges unless you are very careful.
