I will...... thank you John.

I am about to buy a buffer today.

After I decide what to get I will be coming back here to hear more from you.

...... so much information out there..... make my head spin.

This is why I haven't bought anything yet.. I don't know what to do or where to start

 

[Goodinblack]

Likewise...... sooooooo much information and even more opinion based information.

I started by reading about a thousand pages of "how-to" articles and buyer reviews (as well as subsequent conversations)... Sometimes you just gotta put in the book work. lol

I'd be happy to attempt to answer any specific questions you may have, since ice went through all this fairly recently..

Just ordered the PC 7424XP and some polishes...and a few other things...from Adam's. Did some reading and watched some vids and decided to try out the PC. They become a vendor and now I'm broke again Wanted to buy one this year anyways to help my side detailing venture so hopefully it will warm up soon so I can try it out....but I do live in WI so prolly by June.....

I'm sure it'll work out well for you... Report back and let us know how it goes.. I used the old hood off the TA to practice, you might consider picking up a cheap panel at salvage or something if you don't have any other options, it really allowed me to experiment without fear.

This is the video that made me feel safe about using a buffer with zero fear of hurting the paint.

Suggesting to an amateur to buy a regular rotary buffer could end up being a recipe for disaster... And unless they are just naturally good then they'll prolly end up with buffer holograms too. A quality Dual Action Polisher is what an amateur should be introduced to, then a rotary if the want to step up the ability to level clear coat.

That's not a buffer, it's a dual action polisher.
