mf bonnets?

[lucky8926]

I just got an el-cheapo buffer from wal-mart (just until I save up enough $$ for a PC) What applicators do you recommend I use with it?? I can`t use the pads designed for a PC (From the way it looks it has to be a bonnet) Any suggestions?

What does it come with in terms of pads?

Does it say in the literature inside the box where you can buy additional pads?



Personally I would have waited until I had the $$$ for the PC, but that`s just me. Does this WM buffer have an orbital motion or does it just spin?

If you saved your receipt I would return it. Seriously, all those are good for is applying a wax. They don`t have enough speed or power to remove defects, and as you`ve discovered, you`re limited to using bonnets with them. It depends on the size of the pad as to what bonnets are available for it. Usually all you`ll find locally for that size of buffer are cheap terry bonnets. If by chance the pad is 6" - 7" you might be able to use some MF bonnets that some of the vendors sell:

I used it today on the hood to see how it worked out and it got out the very few swirls and light scratches that I had (my finish is in pretty good shape for being 2 years old and being black)

Here is a link to the buffer. It`s the 6" one.

You should be able to find MF bonnets for the 6" buffer. Besides the links already provided, you might also check out TOL (http://www.topoftheline.com/index.html) and CMA (http://www.properautocare.com/)
