quick question. The other day I was asked to put a quick shine on a very old ragged suburban to attempt to improve the shine a bit for a quick sale. I put a medium cut pad on my dewalt and went after it with the old pink glaze from auto magic. The finished product looked magnificent! fine scratches disapeared and the car looked deep and wet. Are those fine scratches that disapeared still under there? Are there swirls under there? I gave no promises on this job but the customer did not care anyway. Is this bad?

Was your DeWalt a rotary buffer or a orbital or dual action tool.

Was the pad a foam or wool pad?

What is "pink glaze?" A compound, a polish?

The condition you describe would seem to require:

a. A rotary buffer
b. Cutting pad (foam or poly/wool)
c. At least a light compound

It is hard to answer your question without more information.

Bud, the dewalt is a rotary, the pad is foam, the pink glaze is auto magic bc2 light cut glaze

BC-2 is a good choice for this application as it offers a touch of cut, cleanability and protection (beads water). It fills alot! How much? Don't know until you do a wipe down with alcohol and compare. Perfect for dealership details and cheap jobs. The amount of cut is dependent on the pad/process you use with it. This isn't bad, as long as you aren't making any promises, which you state you didn't.

Yep, Glaze has a purpose in life. I think it basically makes used car salesmen wealthier!!
