Buffing is the best option if you’re looking for a way to treat a localised area with superficial scratches. It’s quicker, cheaper and less disruptive than sanding, as it involves removing only a very thin layer.
What Does Buffing Involve?
The process begins with a thorough cleaning of the area. Once that’s complete, any wax finish on the surface is removed. It may then be cleaned again before the buffing machine is introduced.
Most buffers spin a polish pad in a clockwise direction, which means professionals usually buff from left to right. Once any imperfections are removed, another layer of sealant is applied.
