-Kaleb : For the past few months I've been totally letting the exterior/interior go to shits, the car needs a good detailing. So I was in the parts store and happen to come across these oribital buffers. It doesn't have variable speed but it does have multi-directional rotation to simulate a natural hand rotation (sounds like a sales pitch to me) it must have work because I picked one up for $35. I've been searching the web trying to find a decent and thorough detailing tips and suggestions, what products to buy, and which steps to follow, etc. But most if not all these sites I'm finding suggest leaving the electric buffers to the professionals due to damage that can occur to the paint. I've never personally used one of these before but I can I can be aware of how much pressure to apply while using the buffer. So this is why I ask if these buffers are worth it, or do most of today's automotive waxing/cleaning products apply and buff off relatively easy with hand pressure. : PS - If anyone might know of a cleaning and waxing steps that persoanlly worked for them I'm all ears. Washing, cleaning, waxing, sealing, etc.
Which is fairly low speed and is useful for applying and removing wax and polish. Use it sparingly and make sure you keep the applicator cloth clean. Don't press down, just let the movement do the work.
