DUNCAN
I bought some liquid brass/coper polish and followed the instructions, applying it to my front door fittings. Trouble is that when I used a soft cloth to buff it off the fittings seemed to be left with some sort of a 'blackish smear'. I can't think what I could have done wrong. Any ideas?
Answer
Try buffing the door fitting with toothpaste on a soft cloth. Any toothpaste is fine as long as it's the typical white toothpaste and not a gel-type. Toothpaste should remove the black smears.
After buffing with the toothpaste, buff with a different cloth doused with water. Then buff with yet a different cloth that is dry.
This should do it.
Good luck.

Will buffing my car help with this?
My Name
So basically, I got my moms old car. It's paint was really damaged, so my dad sanded it down and repainted it in the garage. It looks okay, but it has a texture all over the car because he never buffed it or anything. The only thing that is bugging me is that it isn't smooth, so that's why I thought buffing would help. Am I right? Should I buff it? And what is a good buffing product?
Answer
buffing will only make it shiny.To make it flat you need to wet sand it first with 1000 grit sandpaper,then 1500 and finally just to make the buffing easier hit it with some 2000 grit.After that you'll need a good buffing machine a good wool pad for the compound and a foam pad for the polish.3-M is really the go to company for real buffing supplies finesse it products from them should suit you well and I've seen them on the shelf with paint and body supplies at major auto parts stores
Good Luck and don't burn the edges
