3M Finesse-It II is good for the machine buff, 3M Imperial or Meguire's #7 for hand glazing. Plenty of other choices exist. A bushelful of folks on this board use a Harbor Freight rotary buffer, cheap and strong like bull.

Yep, gotta agree wth the 3M line of machine and hand glazes. Once you get past the cut and buff regular maintenance really makes a big difference too. I like to use Zymol's Heavy Duty Cleanse at least once a year followed by One Grands Omega Glaze and a further coat of their Blitz Wax. You can find Zymol products just about anywhere and can see all of One Grand's detailing products at www.onegrand.com It's worth a look. I use their ERV (Exterior Rubber and Vynil) spray too. I've sent a lot of people to them and feel you're getting premium products for what you would pay at your local discount parts store. Oh, yeah, that Habor Freight buffer just can't be beat for the bucks. Hey, I almost forgot. One Grand is a great souce for technical info. on restoring finishes too. I've actually talked to the owners there several times about specific problems and found them to be of great help.

As others said you can't beat it for 1/5th the price of the Makita or Dewalt.

Only drawback is:

Makita 9227 = 6.6lbs, 10 amps
Harbor Freight = 8.5lbs, 11amps

It is a BRUTE! After a few weeks using it YOU are the one who gets "strong, like bull!"
