Can buffer burn be corrected? - 11/25/2007 6:22:48 AM    03rangiemark   Posts: 19 Joined: 11/11/2007 Status: offline The Java black '03 RR I just bought appears to have a good case of buffer burn on the sides.  Anyone know of any way to undo, cure, repair, or at least hide a good case of buffer burn?  One detailer says he can try with a couple hundred $$ & 4-5 hours. Once it's burned, is it shot? Thanks, _____________________________ Mark F '03 Range Rover all stock, black Post #: 1

I knew I'd regret buying a black rover. DiscoMike- You're always ready to help all us newbies with our far-out questions.  Thanks a lot.  'Never before have so many owed so much, to so few' comes to mind.... _____________________________ Mark F '03 Range Rover all stock, black (in reply to tailchaser0527) Post #: 5

RE: Can buffer burn be corrected? - 1/16/2008 1:22:17 PM    miahman98   Posts: 9 Joined: 1/12/2008 Status: offline Your paint is actually in need of correction. There are a lot of products that you can use that will hide the swirls, but as soon as it wears off they will show up. So your best bet is to buff them out and then put a product on that will protect the paint. You already have Zaino, so your ahead of the game already. If done properly the truck will look great. If you are not familiar using a rotary then do not do that part yourself. Have a professional remove the swirls for you and then take it from there. Now if the paint is actually burned and is bubbled up then you cant bring it back. But you could take it off road and add some more scratches, and by doing so you will have so much fun you will forget all about you paint. Good luck. (in reply to drzjoint) Post #: 7
