how to use a buffer

[bobby5]

I was wanting to get started with a orbital buffer. Which one is best for a begginer? How do you use them without producing swirl marks?

Then follow it up with some reading in the forums.

You wont get swirls with this machine. Moisten pad a tad with spray bottle, and apply a decent amount on polish, and do small section at a time, move machine slowly to give polish a chance to break down, find a polish that is user friendly like #80 or DACP. Have a finishing polish like FPII on hand, this will set you mirror shine off and deal with minor hazing left behind from DACP. I hear you can go right to sealant with #80 so you might want to give that a shot. I use Menzerna stuff mostly but I use a rotary, you can also give IP a shot if you want to go that route. Do some research in machine polishing section. I just bought this machine from Autopiacarcare and I do like it, it`s a safe machine. it isn`t as quick as a rotary but I think it is very very safe for a begginer.
