2400 RPM single speed ONLY!
On sale for $30 at Sears

I'll probably order Zaino in the next few days but I like to get your opinion on this buffer. Is 2400 RPM too fast or too slow to use on our Honda paint.

 

Link??? Where can I get it?

looks nice.

 

good deal.. now can someone answer his question? i'd like to know as well

 

i have that exact one. it works pretty well, but i dont use it often because i normally use zaino. with zaino all you need to do is put it on by hand, so the buffer is not necessary. sometimes i use that buffer to do a hardcore cleaner though, and it works way better than by hand, becuase it can spin faster. but it is a nice buffer and will not burn the paint, and its a nice size to work, although on some tight areas it isnt the greatest. I imagine all buffers are like that though.

 

I'll stick to an adjustable speed buffer, thank you.

What speeds are recommended

 

i personally dont like buffers...cause of the swirl marks that they start

 

A random orbital buffer with a foam applicator pad REMOVES swirls--it doesn't create them. A rotary buffer in the wrong hands will cause swirls.

I'm a semipro detailer (I do it part time) and I use a 9" Craftsman random orbital. If you want to see my work, check out the red Miata in last month's Grassroots Motorsports Reader's Rides section. That car belongs to a friend and it had 115k miles on it at the time. I defy anyone to say that I could've done a better job with a different buffer.

It's all in the hands of the guy running the buffer

 

hehe i was waiting for someone to say that. its all about how you use it. in the wrong hands it can make your car look flat out shitty. but the orbital is not the cause of swirl marks if you use it right!

 

Thats just a orbital, its not a buffer, you need to have that in order to wax.

In order to buff the car you need a dewalt, milwaukee. ETC....

 

...and an orbital with the right methods and the right compounds can remove a good number of paint defects.

I've seen a TON of cars whose paintjobs have been destroyed by rotary buffers and I have personally resurrected enough paintjobs to know that a properly used orbital can do wonders.

 

I would buy it, good deal. You really can't screw up your paint with that unless you use some type of abrasive compound with it (which is not what it is intended for anyway). Get it
These work very well for both applying/removing liquid glaze and removing paste wax that you put on by hand. They are practically essential if the weather is humid and you don't want any streaks in your paint after applying wax. I recommend taking a towel and sort of using that in between the orbital and the paint instead of just the pad covers they give you.

 

it's $30 @ home depot regular price
well if they still carry it
