    Please forgive me, Marilyn, but the problem is pretty much never too
    little pressure, much more often the opposite. Properly used, a buff
    should function best with very little pressure, letting the edges do
    the work. More pressure often results in "drag lines", those insidious
    little tiny grooves in what is supposed to be a flat surface. 

Opposing views welcomed.
