I just bought a buffer and i am rather scared to tackle this myself as i have heard many horror stories about guys who have taken off the clear coat with a power buffer...

which "hat" should i use, it came with Ten terry cloth hats... i dont think i want to use terry though.. advise here people, the hoe needs a manacure

No...Sounds like he's using bonnets.

THROW THEM AWAY....buy yourself a PC. Do NOT waste your time with any sort of "hat" or "bonnet".

aside from the fact that if we stoped asking questions after the first thread, we wouldnt have a very detailed forum... i though T-Ast's 101 thread could use some adding too

then we need to get other people to post up more threads, not keep linking to tf.com

i'm about to start a review thread with some upcoming products i'm buying.
