Need Recommendations on a Buffer

Dana67Dart said

I need a buffer to cut and buff the oxidized 35 year old paint job.

I tried a HF special, what a joke. I use to have one that had true variable speed, and that's what I'm looking for. The HF special was variable but always started at full speed, apply a little pressure and it would slow down.

Not looking to spend much over $100.00

Thoughts?

What color is the paint you are trying to buff out? If it's a light color, you can try washing the whole car with a terry cloth rag and some Comet in the green can. It clearly states it will not scratch delicate surfaces. It's much different than a course scouring powder like Bon Ami.

I've washed dozens of faded light colored cars with the stuff over the past 40+ years, and people are in disbelief that I didn't spend hours machine polishing the cars when they see them.

Work in the shade doing small sections using circular patterns and rinse well as you go. For the disbeliever's, try a small section down low on a light colored car, before you knock it.
