What type of bonnets do you use on power buffers/polishers ?
I would like to apply paint cleaner, polish and wax, I need three a to not cross contaminated the products.

in the past I have power buffed on and then by hand removed the compound dose everyone do this ?

I would recommend you go to the autopia web site and read about the Portal Cable buffer.

I use a foam bonnet to apply paint cleaner,polish,and wax. Terry cloth is the best to use.

so to apply I should use a terry towel bonnet, thats what I have been using, dose anyone use the buffer/polisher to remove the compound or do you do it by hand

I usually use microfiber by hand, but I know there are microfiber bonnets for the Porter Cable polisher (6" bonnet), like this one at
