Best Buffers Kit? ($350 budget)

**Richardhaunter** · 01-09-2009, 05:50 PM

Hello autopians, Ive been around this site for some time, even though I not a frequent poster Ive read almost all the C&B Threads, which is the point of my thread.

Which is the best Buffer kit I can get with a 350dlls budget, considering it will only to work on my car. Ive just waxed my car several times, but I believe it really needs a polishing session. So which pack would you recommend considering it will be my first buffer and I dont have any personal experience on that matter and I dont want to mess up my paint, also which pads and polish would I need that are not a PITA to work with.

My car is a 2008 Nissan Sentra SE R Spec V - Superblack. I think the car need some medium cut polish and medium cut pads (it isnt very damaged). Thanks in advance four your hints, tips and personal experiences.

Best Regards,

Richard

I am about to purchase this set from autogeek:Menzerna kit, 5.5 lake country pads, porter cable menzerna kit, ceramic clear polishing kit, Mercedes polishing kit

Both of those Menzerna polishes get great reviews as well as coming with many pads, all you will need after that is a LSP. It is a PC so it is a good entry level.

I dont have any detail experience as i have yet to order, but that is what I have heard.

it has more power and will give you better results quicker, but you`re limited to what all that you need with just $350. the Flex alone is around $270-$280, and you still need to pick up pads, polishes, etc...

My mayor concern is not leaving holograms on my car, since it is black.

the meguiars g110...

Meguiar`s G110 Dual-Action Polisher Kit

and

Meguiar`s Ultra Synthetic DA Polish & Seal Kit

Should set you up pretty well and gets you well under your $350 budget.

If you think you need more cut you could add in the new version of 105 and you would be set for just about anything you will encounter on your car. Don`t forget to add some clay and QD for lube. M135 isn`t recommended for clay lube. Get yourself a sample of Last touch and an extra bottle to dilute in and you`ll be set!

I just got the Meguiar`s G110 kit from ADS, $150 and it gets you the unit, 2x polishing pads, 1 finishing pad, some MF towels, and the little bag. I plan to get a 5" or so pad for anything that requires any real cut. Then you`ve got some extra room to pick what sort of polishes and such you want to get too.
