for your process of cut and buff you mentioned how much time do you figure you have in it, and are you doing it by yourself?
Looks awesome!!

I'm glad to hear that. I have taken a lot of flack in the past for spending 2+ hours per panel using 3 steps in sanding and another 3 steps in buffing. In my neck of the woods it is difficult to get paid that kind of money for cut & buff.jeremyb;14517 said:Usually takes me 30-40 hours to cut/buff one.

Many vehicles have side moldings in this area, we just don't bother to buff below that point unless it's a real custom job. Saves a lot of time. Note to people who diss buff jobs that are done that way, people get what they pay for, it is not necessarily bad craftsmanship. I can usually do a job like that in around 10-12 hours, which fits with the average budget.
Sorry for the hijack!
I agree, and I think most good quality clears are this way. Some of the cheap clears out there lock up fast and buff good right away-but these are also the clears that end up brittle and scratch easily later on, JMO...Chad.S;14522 said:I think universal buffs better after 2 weeks than it does the next day.
