Shop Talk: (In Depth) Low down on Buffs - Evan's Detailing and Polishing

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a remake of the original break down of Buffs video. Evan goes in depth on the difference between the number of plies in a buff, the types of fabric, fabric treatments and the pack of the buff. There are so many different styles and variations that choosing your buff can be confusing. We highly recommend you find the style and kind that you like and stick with it. Building a pattern and a style around the kind that you like to use is one of the more important key factors in polishing. I know the video is long but there is a ton of information packed into this video. I hope you learned something and enjoyed what you see. Thanks for watching.

    I came across your videos 3 years ago and I thought I’d like to give that a try! Went to my local peterbilt, got a few zephyr buffs and rouge bars, threw it on my trusty harbor freight grinder, and started polishing on the truck I was driving at the time… I was hooked the first time I got some shine to come thru. 3 years later I still refer to your videos for advise and tips, your truly an inspiration Evan! Keep killin the game 🤘🏼

    Evan I’m sure you would know but on the skinny red buff for Peterbilt step’s you also mentioned using it for motorcycle finned cylinder head’s! I was taught by a shop teacher back in the 70’s you should not polish the finned head or cylinder port’s unless the engine is water cooled that they are rough to be able to catch wind for cooling? As I said you probably know this! But if it’s on a show bike that doesn’t run long enough to get hot it probably wouldn’t matter.

    Zebra lines come from overlap and pressure issues. Doesn't really have anything to do with the buff itself honestly. Not sure if this makes sense but I'll have some videos this winter explaining it.

    Thank you for the fast response. Any advice on how to fix them? Recutting with the same buff made them a little less noticeable but they’re still visible. Do you think using a stiffer buff or Should I sand with 600 and recut and try to take more time and be more consistent?

    What brand of compound are you using? Could be a long list of reasons why it is turning black. Green is a pickier compound. If the metal is pitted and not smooth it will turn black. Humidity or temperature can also be a factor. Applying too much or not enough compound can be an issue.
