13-Mustang-GT/CS Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I was watching the vol 8 video with scratch removal. Adam mentioned to make sure you tape up the edges because he doesnt want to see the primer on the camaro. How could he burn through the paint if he doesnt tape off the edges?

0 Norton Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Using the 4" pad on a drill means using it as a ROTARY buffer, with which burn-through is a greater danger than with an orbital/oscillating buffer. Given the more aggressive treatment required to fix the deep scratches that neither (the PC nor Flex) polisher pulled out, he just wants to protect the the "edge" that's "so close" to where he's working.

Â i understood the rotary buffer part. my question just was why are the edges different then any other part of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Aholder Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the paint is thinner on the edges Edited March 30, 2013 by Aholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ArablueRS3 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah watch the edges on that Ford paint. I came close to burning through on my bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tony97gt Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I would venture to say also that when you're over an edge you usually aren't distributing the pressure of the pad evenly like you would over a flat surface, so more pressure gets put on the edge which can eat thru the paint.
