Buffing and waxing is the same thing aren they?
Actually no! Waxing is simply a protective element that is applied to the paint surface. While waxing may help add some shine to the paint, it should not be confused with buffing. Buffing is a paint correction process that utilizes a hi-speed rotary buffing machine. This process is used to remove superficial scratches, blemishes and fading of a paint surface. The process consists of starting with a ‘cutting compound’ used to aggressively remove the damaged paint surface. Several polishing steps to smooth and restore the finish to a hi-gloss slippery finish follow this process.
