Default Wet sanding to buffing

Hi all,

Should I wait a few days between wet sanding and buffing or just get right to it.

Depends upon the type of finish you are using and its thickness. Most often, the final wet sanding and buffing are done after waiting for the finish to harden sufficiently, which can be as long as a few weeks.

If your finish is cured enough to wet sand then its cured enough to buff. Don't get in a hurry. Make sure that its well cured before you do anything.

No need to wait. You can buff right after cutting. Just wipe her down good.
