freshen up tired original paint 68 barracuda...

lots of great information. that video was super helpful as well. how much would one of those electric detailing tools cost? seems to be worth it if i am going to re condition my old paint.

Considering what you get out of them, they are pretty affordable. You'll spend less buying the tools than you would spend paying a detailer to do it for you. http://www.autogeek.net/porter-cable-buffer-value-kit.html

This is a good machine. It comes with the backing plate you need, a few pads, and a few microfiber towels as well. Thats most of what you need to get started. You'd just need to get a couple more things and you'd be ready to go.
