Powered, portable buffers?

Hello, I want to use a powered buffer to speed up the detailing of my car. (Incidentally, how many minutes would it cut down on?)



The problem is I live in the city. So, I don't have a garage where I can detail my car. I have to go off hours to a local self-carwash service, to get my car detail. This means, I can't use a powered buffer that I plug into a wall. But, I've been looking at portable buffers that run on battery, and I'm wondering if you think these are any good? Which ones do you recommend?



thanks.
 
I'm sure there are some tha I don't know of, but the ones that I do know probably don't have the power and/or life to do the whole car.



Good luck in your search.



By the way, you don't need a garage to detail your car ;)
 
MY best advice would be to get a power converter that plugs into your cigratte lighter outlet and run the machine of your car battery. You may need to get a deep cycle battery or run the car while using the machine to avoid draining the battery.
 
There is one that is decent, I forget the maker, but it won't do much more than apply and remove wax. For real defect correction, you can't beat a corded model. Do what J.J. does and run a 100' extension cord out your window down to your car. If you're really set on going cordless, I'd reccomend an inverter and run a PC off of your car. If that won't work, Top of the Line sells a true cordless polisher, it is pretty weak though.
