First use of buffer

[sube]

Well I did my first detail with a buffer Used the PC with 6.5 pads. I have always done my cars by hand. I will admit I was a sceptic, I always thought my cars looked great, and thought they couldn`t be much better with a buffer.
However after washing then clay bar then buffed out with Optimum Poly seal and topped with Meguiars Ultimate wax all I can say is wow! I am now a believer.
The depth of shine on the car now almost made the car dull in comparison before.
I was very lucky in that I had no correction as the paint was swirl free.

Sorry I origionally added this to another persons post. Since deleted from that post.

Welcome to the obsession Pat. You will never look at paint the same.

Great to hear Pat, now your part of the OCD club!

Pat, we all begin the detailing journey simply washing and waxing our cars and trucks. Once we gain a little insight into properly caring for our pride and joy we enter a whole new world and level of perfection...

To the quest of perfection!

Now all you will see everytime you look at a car is the swirls, and the thought of an orange pad and M105 will consume your thoughts

I have still not taken the plunge and bought a buffer. Stories like this make me think that I should buy one.

You need to get one and play with it to get comfortable with it. It gets fixed by time with machine and not how much you read online.

If not familiar with power tools, it just takes a little time to get over the anxiety of making a mistake, learning to understand when something is not right, what needs to be adjusted but experimenting is the key.

I would say, after doing this (the retail side for over 3 years) that I have yet to see somebody buy a buffer and regret it.
