If you Had too...Chicago Electric/Harbor Freight

Just save up a few extra bucks and buy a quality one.



You may only use it once or twice a year. But when I look for a tool I want something that my grandchildren will be selling as antiques when I'm undergound

I have 10 of them. Yes they are crappy but they do work. We used them to polish two WW2 bombers and none failed. Polishing aluminum is tough work and we went hard on these buffers.



The DeWalts you see in this box were purchased on ebay for about $90-$100 each.

Those look like Costco MF's and Meguiars...ugh... AMATEUR!!! :rofl
 
For $29 you'll hide the scratches with holograms :) I do own a HF rotary (my lawn tractor and washing machine are psychadelic during the practice period no matter how many website how-to's I've read :) along with a PC and Hitachi.



You will probably do more harm than good with this machine unless you're a gifted prodigy. Keep in mind the pads will cost you another $60 or so to get started.



If I *had* to, I'd eat some ramen noodles for lunch for a few days and use the savings towards a PC XP. You really don't want to save $20 from getting a better machine than cause $400 in repairs to your paint.
 
Get the 300-3000 rpm one. And Chicago Freight can last 1 use or 40 uses, it's pretty hit or miss. And even when it is hit, it's still a crappy one. However, it seems to suit your needs just fine. Once you get it, you can decide after a couple uses if you would like a better one. Keep in mind pads and polishes are going to cost more than your buffer.
