Tire Repair: Buffing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Cadillac XT5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To prevent contamination and preserve the outline, buff within the marked area thoroughly and evenly with a low speed buffing tool using a fine wire brush or gritted rasp.
- Buff to a smooth velvet surface (RMA #1 or #2 buffed texture).
- Use caution not to gouge the inner liner or expose casing fabric.
- Remove any buffing dust with a vacuum cleaner.
- Consult your repair material supplier for a proper buffing tool.
