Re: Buffing question

Are you looking to get a rotary or orbital buffer? I use both . My rotary is a Makita and the orbital is a flex(german) . There are countless products out there to bring the shine back. From very aggressive to just polish. The orbital will take longer to achieve a shine if the paint is very oxidized but is very forgiving . Rotory takes a lot of practice and if you hit an edge can burn though the paint very quickly. There are several boards and videos from Mequiars that show the correct process .

Most orbitals sold at like Wal-Mart and auto stores are cheap and give poor results. Although I did see AutoZone was carrying Griot's garage orbitals which is a good product.

If your unsure have a auto detailer look at it. May be cheaper in the long run to have it done professionally.
