You can use a buffer if you want, but ive noticed hand applications work better, unless you want to remove bigger scratches. http://www.wetpaintglaze.com/ i last applied it a few months ago. My car was filthy with salt, dirt, water spots and every kind of crud you can imagine. Last night it rained and washed it all off my car, all by itself. Made it look new. _____________________________ 96 Accord LX 4cyl. 4dr AT w/o vtec (F22B2) Security System / Keyless entry (in reply to 02BlueAccord) Post #: 2
