Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have any reccommendations for an electric buffer? I think there are 2 types: Orbital vs Random which one should i get for a basalt black car? what wax should i use with it? thanks Chucksta

POST 2Original post

This has been discussed a great deal in the past--try a search on Porter Cable or random orbital. Also try http://www.autopia-carcare.com/index.html

POST 3Original post

You want a random orbital buffer. The rotary buffer can cause severe paint damage unless you know what your doing.

POST 4Original post

You want a random orbital. The Porter Cable is a quality tool. Additionally, it is almost idiot proof.

POST 5Original post

PC (porter cable). You also need to have the correct pads and products to maximize the PC. www.autopia-carcare.com is where you can buy products. The learning forum is at www.autopia.org. I've been a member there since July 2001 and there is still alot to learn. The PC 7424 (random orbital) is a great machine - you can actually pick it up at your local Lowe's for just over $100. The backing plates and the pads you can get at www.autopia-carcare.com or www.properautocare.com.

POST 7Original post

The cheap orbitals that you see at Pepboys are OK for applying wax, but the quality of the bonnets may leave some swrils if they are not up to par. They don't have enough speed or quality applying bonnets to do any swril removal. The Porter Cable is idiot proof and has the speed and wide selection of pads to do defect removal. Its a wise investment if you don't take it to the detailers. High speed rotary beffer should be left for the professional as it may burn and swrill the paint if you don't know how to use it. I also find many detail shops that don't know how to use them either. Go to Autopia.org for more detailing tips and product selection.
