Buffers that work well ?

I bought a cheap buffer from Walmart a year or so ago, worked alright on my previous vehicle, but I think I need something a little more professional and with a little more buffing power.

Porter Cable has a nice one out for just under $200, what are the chances there's something similar for less than $100?

Thanks for any insight

 

I've always been a fan of my hands and a good rag.

(and yes I realize how this sounds)

The Porter Cable is supposed to be really nice for fine polishing but I'm wary to try one without proper training from a pro.

 

^^^ Good point. Our Subaru's paint is very thin. The detailing guys went all the way thru the paint when trying to remove a scuff on my bumper. (don't worry they repainted it too)

 

if you goto a Lowes in Douglassville or Austell, you can get a Porter Cable for less than 70$

 

Whatever brand you go with, make sure it is at least a 16 pound orbital. It will do all the work. I used to help detail cars many moons ago and those were the best to use in terms of shine and performance. Anything else is trash IMO.
