    I just finished taking out all the buffer burns in my new prius. Apparently when the deal puts the glaze to make it look pretty, they also burnt the heck out of the paint.

    Since its a black car, the burn looks much worse than a lighter color car.

    What i did is first gave her a good bath and then a hand dry.
    I then pulled of my PC orbital buffer and got to work on the finish.
    I went with all poor boys products, since i have had luck with them in the past. I used there SSR1 compound with an orange pad. It has a little bit more aggressive bite to the pad, but does a great job with buffer burns.

    I then used the ex-p sealant over the entire car with a gray pad, microfiber hand buffed it off, then finally did the red mouse glaze. Its a special glaze just for dark colors.

    Below are the results!! Buffer burns are gone and she looks great!!!
