Etymologically , to buff might come from the verb to buffet which is to blow or strike esp. on the cheek or face (Low German buff or puf ).
Or from the noun buffalo, i.e. the soft leather of this animal - buff-leather- which thence led to the colour buff and even to the origin of a "buff" as a knowledgeable person (apparently originally applied to enthusiastic fire-watchers because of the buff uniforms formerly worn by NY voluntary firemen).
