Rubbing compound, hand or wheel?

- It is all good.
I realize that using power tools can burn through the paint easily, and perhaps it can leave scratch marks. But couple that with my desire to not use repetitive motion.
Should I absolutely not use a power tool to buff my paint job??
If it is possible to use a power tool, what are any recommendations??

As I understand it, the rattle can paint is much softer and apt to burn/melt.

This is with the spray can paint, right?

They are all apt to that, but I'm sure rattlecan is even more so. You're going through an awful lot of trouble trying to make a nice job, I'll give you that.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

With regard to the melting or burning through the rattle paint with a machine, this is more apt to happen with a polisher that doesn't oscillate (i.e. like the pros use). The one I have is a dual action which is far safer to use for the average joe. Can still do damage but its much harder to.

That's what I was thinking of. I'm no pro, just have big tools. :laugh:
