Using a power buffer on any of the original lacquer paint GM cars is a BIG NO NO. ESPECIALLY the Corvettes, the surface finish of vette paint is scrutinized extremely closely because unlike other GM cars they couldn't reflow fiberglass cars in a baking booth.

Does that mean an original Corvette that has been buffed by the original owner won't pass muster? Wouldn't improving the finish of a babied car be expected?
