When you take your car in for an oil change, the mechanic usually buffs out the engine with a special tool. But what does that really entail? And just how much does it cost?
What Kind of Surface Do You Have?
Buffing out a car can be cost effective depending on the surface. If the surface is paintable, there are a number of products that can be used to achieve a polished finish. However, if the surface is not paintable, then buffing may not be an option due to the high cost of equipment. In this case, a sealant may be necessary to protect the surface from further oxidation.
Supplies Needed
-Car buffer
-Rags
-Lint
– foam cleaner or cleaner of choice
– wax or sealant of choice
– cloths
Steps to Buffing Out a Car
Buffing out a car can be done for a few dollars, and it will make the car look more shiny and new. There are three different steps that need to be taken in order to buff out a car. The first step is to use a bucket to wash the car. The second step is to use a buffer to polish the car. The third step is to use a sealant to protect the paintwork.
It is important to clean the car before buffing it out. This will help remove any dirt, dust, or other debris that may have been on the car. Once the car is clean, use the bucket to fill it with water and pour it over the entire car. Use your hands to work the water into all of the nooks and crannies on the car. Let the car sit in the water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take the car out of the water and dry it off with a towel.
Now it is time to use the buffer. Buffing out a car means polishing it until it shines. To do this, start by getting some Polishing Compound out of your kit or from somewhere else on your computer desk

Buffing out a car can be a bit of an expensive affair, but if you take the time to do it correctly, you can achieve some very impressive results. Make sure to consult with a professional before getting started though—they will be able to give you an accurate estimate of what it will cost and they will be able to provide specific advice on how best to proceed.
