It has been a while since I did any buffing with my Bealle buffs, and I usually don't need to buff as my finish is usually high grade. I just finished up a hollow form, and I think my wipe on poly has seen better days. I first opened this particular can over 18 months ago, and it has endured the freeze thaw cycles of winter in my unheated shop. The can has just under half of the product left. I don't think the finish flows as well as it does with a new can....perhaps it has thickened a bit, and leaves more fine marks instead of flowing together?
While the finish turned out nice, I feel it can benefit from buffing. I put the last coat on earlier this afternoon, and will let cure a bit overnight, but want to buff tomorrow afternoon. Now my question....should I buff with tripoli and at what rpm? Should I start with the white diamond? This has about 4 coats of WOP on it, and I think it would shine better and perhaps take out the tiny finish marks left by the t-shirt material I used to apply the WOP. You can barely see them in the bright light, but I want to not see them at all.
Any suggestions to help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
