No harbor freight. I'll never buy another.
Go to auto zone and buy a Great Neck variable speed sander/polisher.
I lost count of how much stuff I buffed with one. 70 bucks.
Next go to the auto body supply store and get setup on the backing pad and pads/compounds and abrasive.
Prob run around 200-300 bucks all said and done depending which direction you go on abrasives and type.
Cheap buffer? What style? Never buffed!

Backing pad is hookit.
White compound pad and black polish pad. perfect it compound and perfect it polish (light or dark specific polish). go study....... Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Jeez Jamon, I didn't mean to offend you by asking for more opinons! So you don't use a wool pad or anything? The backing pads are flexible rubber ones I assume? I can't tell from the pictures here.

the foam pads work better than the wool pads and the backing pad is not very flexable

I had good luck with a Porter cable dual action polisher: http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-7424xp.html
It's good for beginners and won't burn through the paint/clear as quickly as a rotary would. You will better results from a rotary though. |
