    Most cases...use a cutting wool pad on a rotary machine...

    john, you know first thing the equipment needs to be a variable speed so it doesn't swirl and burn the finish , orbital would be a plus. i don't recommend a rotary fixed speed but would probably use a fine sponge applicator and lightly buff the finish with k wool when ness.,but wdik I'm not a detail guy.

    Check out the Protec site.. He has videos on there on buffing with Nu-Paint. You can also PM Cat19 and ask him what he recommends.

    Orbital machines will not turn enough RPM to heat the gel up to buff the New Paint in. A rotary is needed.
