Well, I looked at that Meguiar buffer, and the damn thing is $225

There is a buffer at PepBoys for $30, and it seems to be good.

Are there any online store's, or any Auto stores that would sell a good buffer for a good price? I'm willing to spend $20-$60 on a good buffer.

Thanks.

Save a bit more $ and get the Porter Cable 7424. About $120 from Coastal tool. It's much more of a 'professional' tool than the $30 - $60 auto store ones.

Very easy to use, random orbital type so you can't mess up/burn your finish.

Those $20-60 ones aren't going to do you as much good as the Porter Cable (which is what the Meguiar's one is, just relabelled and inflated $$$). Unless you just want to wax your car, many people will probably tell you not to bother with the cheaper ones.

It's more expensive, but worth it if you want to polish out more serious paint defects. These places sell the polisher plus everything you'd need with it:

Cool, thanks for the replies guys. I hand polished my car today, it doesn't look too bad, but it could be better. I need that Porter Cable buffer, my arm hurts like a ***** now
