That time a painter at a local shop showed me I was buffing wrong for 3 years
Honestly, I was at Allstar Collision in Houston last month watching a guy knock out a Mercedes hood. He looked at my buffer and just laughed, said I was running it too slow and using too much compound. Called me over and showed me a two step process with a wool pad at 1800 rpm and then foam at 1200. I tried it on my own car that night and got a finish with zero haze for the first time. Has anyone else had an old timer wreck their whole technique in like two minutes?

Did you check your pad angle too? Running it flat like that at those speeds might be why you were getting the haze before.

Yeah I read somewhere that running pads dead flat can trap heat and cause glazing. Heard a slight toe-in helps with that.
