    Car Detail prep - what buffer?

    I honestly would invest in a Random Orbital (Griots or PC XP) When used with the proper pad and compound....swirl marks disappear in seconds. I am a detailing newb just as you....and asked the same questions you are now asking. I just used the Griots buffer with WG twins on my car in WOW is all...

    You actually brought up a good point. You said that I may buff the car once or twice a year. My question is....If I enjoy going to car shows and showing off the car every couple of weeks should I buff it before each show? My car is a daily driver and we live on the outskirts of the City and...

    Thanks for your prof opinion Barry. It definitely makes sense to separate the enthusiast from someone that does this for a living. I can see your point on product choice. You had some very good suggestions and I will take what you said and run with it. Probably going to make my purchase this...

    Barry, Great post! I wish I could justify the Flex right. The griots will have to do I guess. Is there that much difference between the Flex and Griots? If I spend a little more time with the Griots with a 5.5'' pad...will that compare? I appreciate your honesty Barry and I hope to find a...

    Would love to purchase the flex as I have heard amazing things about it, but $300 for a polisher just doesnt compute with me. My mentality was spring for the Griot, pads, chemicals, etc for now and purchase a High Speed Dewalt or Mikita down the road. That way I have the best of both worlds...
