i was thinkin about waxin the max with a buffer until my friend said that its VERY dangerous for the paint and i could damage the paint EASILY and that i should leave this to the pros. anyone here used a buffer before? any experiences u want to share??

 

yeah i use a buffer everytime. most people here have the money fo a porter cable buffer but i got a cheap one. i can't see how it would mess up the pain. i would suggest getting one to apply the wax. if you a really nervous about it buff it off by hand but i use it for both. on and get a foam pad.

 

A random orbital polisher (like the Porter Cable) is 100% safe for your paint. You really can't mess it up. The 'straight line' grinder type buffers are the ones best left to the pros.

I have the highest praise for the PC orbital. I love mine

 

im kinda confused. what the difference between the porter cable which is about $150 and the ones autozone sells for 30 bux?

 

quality. and the pc have ajustable speeds. the ones at autozone are safe because the are orbital and the don't gind the same spot continuously. other than that i don't know. like i said i bout a set at sears and 10 and a 6" for $25. works great. i'd say buy it you won't hurt the paint.

 

Porter Cable 7336 here. One of the best detailing purchases I made so far.

 

so u guys think i should go with one of the ones taht autozones sells or not?

 

If I were you, I'd get the Porter Cable. About $120. More $ than Auto Zone type, but well worth it IMO. I have the PC 7424 and it's the best detailing investment I've made.

 

Get the PC 7424. I had a Sears "rattletrap" buffer before. It had little to no power and was too light. On top of that they accessories available for them were not very good.

I have the PC 7424 now and absolutely love it.
