Why did you wetsand your truck? What are you trying to buff the wetsanding marks out with?

Please dont buy a rotary yet, do some research first so you dont make the problem worse. I reccoment you do some reading on porter cable 7424 and 7336 dual action polishers instead of a rotary. Start here . You may also want to do some reading on autopia.org.

With a PC 7424/7336, some Menzerna Intensive Polish, a flexible backing plate, and an 6" orange lake country CCS pad you will be able to repair the damage.

Yes you need a high speed buffer and 3M extra rough cut 3 and 3m perfect 3 glaze. Turn the buffer on speed 3 or 4 and keep moving don't stay in one spot or you will burn the paint.

Did you just use rubbing compound after the wet sanding? Your supposed to use a compound, then a swirl remover.

Swirl remover, removes the swirls. I think if you tried some it would remove the marks. I have just a regular buffer used to wax my vehicles and that is what I used after wet sanding on a couple of projects. It just take a little longer.

If you want to get a high speed buffer but don't want to pay top dollar, go check out some Pawn shops, that is where I got mine for a fraction of the cost.
