What is a good buffer ?

What is a good buffer for detailing if you are planninng on doing about 8 cars a day.

[Beemerboy]

An orbital would be a good choice there are a few on the market. I have De Walt but the Porter Cable is another one that most like.

8 cars a day is a lot are you fixed location or mobile

Do you plan on just applying wax/sealant or getting into more of a corrective/restore application (like removing scratches and swirls..etc)

If it`s for application, then a Dual Action Like beemer sez - if you want more then you should go rotary.

Well I will be doing car lots used cars and also some customer cars so mainly it would be just wax and sealant for the most part

[Beemerboy]

If your doing car lots then a orbiotal woulkd be the choice for me. They are for the most part looking to get the car shinny and that`s about it. I would also look for a wax that has fillers so that you can mask the swrils. With the amount of cars you are going to do you are going to be busy

[SpoiledMan]

I`d go for the speed of a rotary. You could turn out cars pretty fast with one of those and your audience is captive. Would be a pretty good learning experience too.

as long as my car is not #1 in line to get learned on :lol
