LOOKING TO GET A TOP GRADE DEPENDABLE BUFFER AND POWER WASHER....

 

1. for the buffer i recommend the porter cable- lotsa info at the top of our main page... or if you have more questions, post em back!
in any case, you want a random orbital machine (the pc is one of those)

2. i would not use a power washer on a car- and especially not on a convertible. they can be useful if you have to wash an rv where you really dont care about swirls and paint perfection

 

I'm with wanabe. Unless your power washing your house or deck, i'd skip the power washer. I don't even use a nozzle on my hose when i wash it.

 

I recommend starting out with a Porter Cable dual action polisher and then depending on your skill level , moving towards a Rotary.

I am most likely making the move to a Rotary after using a PC for about 3 years now. why ? I find the Porter Cable does not fully remove swirls and bad scratches , and it takes me way too long.

IMHO the best combo and what i'm working on is a Rotary for Swirl Removal and Porter Cable for pre wax cleansers and LSP's..

As for your power washer, I only use it on the wheels and in the winter when i jack up the car .. It gives a good blast to rid the salt and grime that builds up.
