    Edit : we normally use a stone to rub it down find spots needed to feather if any. But I just like to find out what everyone else does.

    Thanks

    The stone on a Monday morning is a really good way of gauging how bad your weekend was

    Which buffer do you guys use. I'm like John Hayes .

    Do the buffers have different pads or something ?

    Use a buffer most of the time but have a stone too which is good for light use or feather and bathrooms etc.
