Im looking into buying an electric polisher/buffer. Now i dont do shows or meets so i just need something that will relieve my hands from being numb after a wax. Will something like a Craftsman polisher do the trick or do i really need a $100 Porter Cable polisher. I really dont want to spend a lot but I will if its worth it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

I was recommended by another member to buy the Portercable buffer. I got the 7424.

 

have you tested it yet?

 

Soon as I get a good day, I'll be testing it on the Honda....

 

 

The Porter-Cable is awsome. Does a great job and no worry of burning the paint or moldings. I've had one for 2 years and love it.

I ordered the polisher from Coastal Tool above and then the pad kit from Proper Auto Care below.

How easy is it for a first-timer? I'd love to get something like this, but I'm scared of scratching the heck out of my paint.

 

This is a Random Orbital unit, so you can scratch or burn your paint. I can't wait to use mine.

 

Easy...Easy...Easy! As long as you don't drop the pad in the dirt and put it on your car, your not going to scratch it.

 

Thanks guys...i think im going to check out the P&C...probably not worht picking up a cheap one i guess.
