I need a new buffer/polisher
Ive come to the conclusion that my $25 Pep Boys one doesnt do **** and doing it by hand isnt as effective... what do you guys recommend?
Keep in mind I dont want something that will burn the clear coat or w/e if I leave it to long on the surface or hit it at a wrong angle on a curve cause I dont really know what im doing, so if I have to sacrafice RPMs I am willing to lol
TIA

I have been using that buffer for about 2 years... I have done my truck many times and my GF's car... As long as your not using a rather abrasive rubbing compound it wont burn the paint, which I don't know why you would be using it anyways, no need.... I use machine polish, swirl remover (body shop grade) and wax with it all the time... No problems what so ever

Ever thought of Blown Chevy?
Kinda works just like that Pep Boys model; doesn't do ****.
Seriously tho, I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for. I have a Milwaukee #5460 Polisher. It has 11 amps, adjustable speed 0-1750, slow startup feature so you don't fling stuff everywhere, auxiliary handle mount up front(changeable from L-R side), & a lockout to make pad/wheel changes a pc. of cake. Hope this helps. Nice ride too.
