Very nice chart Todd! This is a fantastic tool for those just getting started, and also for those who get lost in their countless shelves of products :D
 
Thanks for the chart Todd!

I guess I can be labeled a newbie as well. I haven't buffed anything for 15 or so years since I was in high school.

I guess I have a few questions that I should ask:

What machine would you recommend for a newbie? I know there is nothing fool proof but what is the simplest safest machine for me? I'm not looking to do major correction work like deep scratches or anything but rather swirl removal and light polishing. This chart helps because I've been trying to figure out what polishes I want to go with. I've been leaning towards the.
Menzerna line, or possibly Meg's. I plan on picking up a buffer when next spring rolls around so I can get back into it.
 
Thanks for the chart Todd. Sometimes I wonder where a product falls in relation to something else I have and this helps a lot

That is a pretty chart but I can print or save it in a readable format. Can you dump it into excel and post a link? TUIA!
 
There has been some discussion that WG TSR is more like PF rather than SIP. Anyone else have an opinion based upon side by side testing?

I personally would go with a Random Orbital DA. To me it is a machine that is extremely easy to use and produces really good results right off the bat, but you can also grow with it. As you improve you can get better and better results. Also a lot of new products and technology are being developed for these styles of polishers that continue to make them more and more versatile.

The Griots Garage 6 inch, Meguiars G110v2, and Porter Cable 7424 XP are all fine machines.
 
Superb chart Todd.

I think most of us have at one time or another put together a handy reference chart and it's nice to see one so clean and well thought out!! :yourrock
 
Just a quick update: I will be going through the chart next week or the following to update it with new products.
