got a buffer for x-mas TWO QUESTIONS - Toyota Yaris Forums

I (me) wouldn't.....most products call for it to be wiped off while still wet. Buffing dry product puts small impediments in the bonnet which when continually moved over the surface put swirl marks etc into the paint or clear.

If you are doing what ever by hand and are able to remove the stain, why would you buff off the residue after it dries? Just wipe it off.

The buffer/polisher along with the finishing products are used to remove whatever in very small amounts to expose a new finish. The finish is then protected with a sealant/wax.

Bear in mind this is my way and hopefully points out some things you should be aware of.
