Buffing confusion

[Paul Clark]

Fresh paint (2 weeks)
Sanding scratches. Going to wet sand with 2000.
I have a buffer with (I think) a wool pad. It's 3M and yellow.
Planning on going directly from the sanding to Finesse It ll. I don't know how much clear is on there, and I scare easily.
What speed?
Should I get a foam pad instead?
How often - and how - do you clean the wool bonnets?
Many thanks.
Paul

My buddy always uses a wooly,he paints for a living and is good.Speed has more to do with your experience.Watch the edges or you will burn thru clear,ending up with dull spot or no paint.If you dont feel comfortable,get someone thats good at it.Its a practice thing.

Foam pads arn't a bad idea either. It may take you a while longer, but they are more forgiving.
