Buffers......

[sumo]

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.

If you keep the speeds low it will be fine. 2k no more than 3k and take your time.

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.

I will have pics for sure when the time comes. The main reason for getting the DA polisher was to try to improve some of paint neglect from the previous owner. Hand waxing only goes so far and especially with black paint. I figure the PC is fairly safe and a good one to start off with. I'm too afraid to go with a high speed polisher or maybe too smart.....

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

Saw the same one....pretty convincing. Maybe won't yield the best results but will definitely be a step in the right direction.....
