My first orbital buffer selection options?

[Felix C]

Have always worked by hand. Wondering what would be a good option to someone starting out...PC or random orbital?

Considering a Titan 6" Random buffer/polisher. Good choice/poor choice?

Opinions welcome. Strictly for own cars in family.

Have some very small sections on the hood where the clear coat is starting to haze. What should I use for this? 3M Paint Restoration Kit a good idea?

Good choice for applying wax, poor choice for doing any type of paint correction.

I can not recommend this polisher enough. I've had it for a year and just finished a paint correction yesterday with it. Love it, absolutely love it.

I've never used the 3M kit you listed, so I can't comment on it.

Hey

So I'm a newbie at this detailing world also. However, I chose the Griot buffer based on reviews from this forum. What I liked about it is that it offers more power over the the PCXP. And I have the option to use 5.5 or 6.5 pads. Which i only ordered 5.5 LC pads.

Just do what I did search a lot!

Just duplicate Souljah's order. Everything he ordered is righteous. Here is the link...

If you place your order before Sunday, you will recieve 15% off everything but the polisher

Happy polishing, and welcome from Memphis

PS...Order flat pads

I have the Pc 7424xp and it works just fine. I use it with both 5.5 and 6.5" pads. My technique is a hindrance, not the lack of power. The pc is proven bulletproof and NOT made in China!

Thanks. I just purchased the attached.

I have been using the PC XP for 2 or 3 years now and I love it!! Paint correction is on point, only downfall is vibration! Hope it helped!!
