Vaseline + orbital buffer = a good idea?

[relocyo]

Im not trying to restart the vas argument, this question in for the users of the stuff and their experiences with it, could I use an orbital buffer with a terry cloth cover with the vaseline? Is this a viable option or am I missing something? I did a test area with the vas and it seemed to work wonders on my old paint, but it seems like not much fun trying to do the whole thing by hand.... Any thoughts or previous experiences with a buffer would be helpful... Thanks yall!

No, no, no... I just need to know if the orbital buffer is a viable option as opposed to hand application, my mind is already made up... Im using the stuff, bottom line ..

I feel the same way, tried to get help with suggestions for naming the boat and had 9 people respond. I know it is a personal desicion but I would have liked some input from other boaters. I have seen similar posts with responses from a lot of people. Makes you wonder what you have to do to fit in here.

By the way, I would help answer your question but I don't have any experience with your question. Sorry, actually I came to your post to see the responses and learn something.

You can hand rub vasoline, or you can orbital buff it in, or you can apply it with your feet, it doesn't really matter... No matter how you do it, it is a temporary fix... Good luck and enjoy the temporary shine...

yes....we do read your posts.....and actually there is three responces.......firsco answered you as well.

but as you know bud....the v thing on gellcoat is a can of worms on the forum.....it get really heated......the last one got locked......and one shortly after that one in a different spot got locked.......the mods watch these threads like hawks, and its just too much work for them.
so.....out of respect.....we all kept our mouths shut.

no offence to you at all bud....

I read your post and so did 141 others (views), it's just like oops said...the vasiline thing has been beaten to death here, so most tend to shy away from them. It's absolutely nothing agaisnt you.

Oh lord i just searched the vaseline thing as I din't know what you were on about... i never heard of it being used till now ( what a sheltered life i lead I know..) And after reading all the posts about it I still don't know it 's a good idea to go with it or not

i have not used these two products on my boat yet but i did use them on a 1980 firebird. after the buffing, the black paint looked like wet laquer. i could read the highway signs in my hood.
they are made by 3-m and called finess-it and finess-it 2. they are fine and very fine polishing compounds. finessit-2 is a swirl mark remover. they are pricey but they yield carshow results. depending on the condition of the finish to be restored, one might have to start with some economical rubbing compounds or you'll be polishing oxidation and scratches to a brilliant shine. the firebird was actually done with mirror glaze first. it polished the scratches. i had to use other products to go deeper into the paint then tried the mirror glaze again. it looked great til i saw the swirl marks. car looked like it was wrapped in spider webs. finally i went to a ppg store and bought finess-it. finess-it one got me where i needed to be in the first place, finess-it 2 made it look like like a brand new paint job with a dozen clearcoats over it .
