The polishing wool buff should be used with an automotive polisher. Different polishes and waxes can be used with the buff. The buff is fastened onto a rubber backing pad with laces. Make sure the diameter of the polishing buff is the same as the backing pad's diameter.
It is necessary to polish a vehicle body panel when:
The panel has been newly painted with a clear-coat.
Shallow scratch marks need to be removed.
The panel has suffered from oxidation.
Swirl marks and hologram defects need to be removed.
TIP: The buff is washable after use if the polishing compound is soluble.
