While all the other tools have their place, when it comes time to undo years of either neglect or abuse you cannot beat the
power, speed and effectiveness of a rotary buffer.
When it comes to wetsanding a car and then removing 100% of the sanding marks, you can limp along with the other tools but nothing beats the
power, speed and effectiveness of the rotary buffer.
And for
surgical buffing tight areas to remove defects or sanding marks it cannot be beat.
