Using Buffer?
Hey everyone. I wanted to get in a good waxing if possible before winter snow really hits hard here. For christmas I got a buffer. It is not all that impressive just a regular one that has like a 10 inch pad and spins around 3500 rpm (generally sold with turtle wax included). I have seen some people say to be carefull because they can leave burns etc in your paint.
I am looking for people who use buffers on thier car and what they think or your impressions on the best way to use it etc. I would mostly love it if it just covered the big areas for me like hood, trunk, doors etc. And I could get the closer stuff by hand.
Anyone got opinions on this?

if u use that buffer be REALLY careful. I had a buffer which i used on my black 92 with meguiars polish and it turned out HORRIBLE...swirls and scratches galore. I got most of them out by redoing the Meguiars 3 step pocess by hand but not all of the marks

Actually I've heard of a lot of problems with buffin a car for the first time. One of my dad's friends has a buffer that he was willing to lend to me a while back. I turned it down cause I didn't want to run the risk of making my car look any worse than it already is.
You have to let the buffer glide on their, and you can't work on the same spot for too long. You're putting a lot more pressure than you think you are when you start to push on it too hard. I bet there's a how-to on the net somewhere. Just gotta search.
