Default Buffers

I am looking to by a buffer and some pads/products to go with it just wondering what you guys would recommend? I am new to detailing and I have a black car (the worst to keep clean i know) Right now it has like a cloudy haze form dealership detail shop and some light swirl marks. Any suggestions/links to where to get good products (for interior and exterior) would be greatly appreciated thanks

hey, another '00 black car - cool !!

for newbes and even olderbes, i like the porter cable with edge pads.

you might have seen that i also like the 3m glaze for black cars with light swirls. the glaze is a very unaggressive polish. it will remove the edges of your swirls so they dont show and will put some filler in the bottom of the swirls. some folks think this isnt good enough- so a real remover would be the solution. harder to use and it will take down more clear. imo, the glazes work great on our paint- and you can always move up to a remover later.

check out that black '00 beauty in this ad !!:

if you can hang on, we might have a special from our sponsor on the pc with edge pads... check out this link:

Detailers Domain should have some LCC Hook and loop pads coming in soon. Hold off for those and use the S2ki member discount!
