Best Buffer?
#2
I dont think that is a quality buffer.. all that will do is make swirl marks and mess your paint up. Check out www.autogeek.com. The porter cable is a good entry buffer and spins fast enough to get the job done. Me personally i use the DeWalt big daddy buffer. That thing is capable of 3000RPMs But if your not careful it will eat your paint and then ull be

Well, I do have some experience buffing. I worked in a detail shop in high school. No way am I buying one of the heavy duty ones I used then though, they are $200.

Thanks for the tips I will check out AutoGeek

Yes it's a dual action buffer, and the diffence is speed and thats whats needed when using scratch removes. The speed creats heat that helps break down the polish to begine removing scratches/swirls/marring. You can't do that by hand with out a lot of time and your arm not feeling like spaghetti at the end.

I just got a Porter Cable 7424 and finally got to polish my car last weekend and I am extremely impressed with how well that thing works - makes my 6 year old paint look new. Definitely worth the money.

I have a detailing venture that I do on the side. I have both the PC 7424 and a Makita rotary.

My weapon of choice is the 7424. With the right selection of cutting, polishing and finishing pads and the proper polishes ( I use a lot of Meguiar's profesional and detalier line products), they really make a finish shine. The rotary only comes out for "basket cases".

The PC 7424 is avaialble at Lowe's Home Centers for $109.
