You want a brand name buffer like dewalt-will last forever, have two of them over 20 years, also metabo is an excellent rotary but pricey.

See System-one CD included in kit explanes how to use buffer properly. you can get into trouble if you rotate into edge of panel. Pad tends to hang up. Always keep rotation going away from edge.If you do it wrong you will only do it once.

If you want a light weight rotary, the Metabo is definitely in this league. I've got one and use it a lot in curvy areas or places the bigger rotary would be cumbersome.
For a "standard" rotary, I use a Dynabrade. It's somewhat lighter than a DeWalt and has the same features (variable rpm on the trigger, etc).
The shop also has 2 older DeWalts and they are definitely the workhorses of the polishing world.

Toto when you talk about the Dynabrade buffer are you reffering to the air buffer or electric one?

The electric. We don't have enough air tank capacity to run air tools except the little Snap-On orbital sander.
