Waxing

[David j]

Just wondering how many people use a buffer/polisher to wax their vehicles. What are the advantages? Do you get a better shine with one, or is it just as good to do it by hand.

Eagle One wax as u dry. Works great. Dont have to worry about that arm falling off type of pain and time. As for your question, I would go with the buffer but for those hard to reach locations, the good old fashion way hand buffing would do.

What are the advantages?

Get the job done quicker so you can get back to more important things.

If you haven't used a buffer before I wouldn't recommend it as you have a high chance of burning the paint with the wheel.

Hand wax; best to keep the buffer to cutting and finishing polishes. And stay away from Kmart $25 specials. They swirl like nobody's business. Buffers with variable speeds (2000-6000 rpm) are best. And last--make sure you practice before you take it to your prized ride. As Rob said, you can do a lot of damage with a buffer if you're not familiar with the technique.

Orbital buffer saves bunches of time and does a good job. No swirls, either.

I use an orbital. Makes it quick and gives a good shine.Saves alot of work on buffing out small scratches._Ron
