over the years, i have used the rotary buffer only when necessary. eventhough, i have become proficient with this machine, i have learned that most imperfections will not come out of a cars finish. my thoughts are that cars that come to you that need a high speed buffer on them, their owners could care less about their car, of course there are some exceptions. do you know the guy who gets a new car and is in your shop for the first month, once a week getting a hand wash? where did he go? my point is that most customers like to see a shinny car when they pick it up and a lasting wax over a time period. working w/ a high speed is very time consuming, b/c you usually have to do a 3 step process. cut, polish, wax. swirls, buffer mark and other problems arise. sure you can cover up swirl marks, but what is the customer going to think after a few washes? the bottom line is that the orbital buffer w/ a paint cleaner does a great job. follow it w/ wax and the exterior is done. you will be amazed by the results you get. i have a gem orbital and i use it w/ midnight special (on dark cars) then i follow w/ a coat of wax. you dont have to worry about the swirl marks and you essentially have piece of mind knowing the the customer is satisfied. i think that you shouldnt give your customers high expectations in regards to the exterior of a car. under promise and over deliver. thats how you retain clientelle. just a few thoughts. if you want more email me directly
