Sears buffer or PC7424......?
I recently bought a Sears 6-inch buffer(machine) for $30.00 and it comes with terry cloth bonnets and a few blue colored application pads. These blue pads look and feel rough....... so is it ok to use on the car finish or is the foam much better? My local Pep Boys has the foam pads made by Turtle Wax.
Also..... a lot of guys on the now non-existing, pay per site, Autopia.com recommend the Porter Cable-7424 buffer-the high speed machine at about $110.00(at Lowes)..... is this a good investment or is it better to buff by hand and or kepp the cheap Sears buffer?
Thanks

I've been using a 7" Craftsman orbital buffer (about $40) for 3 or 4 years and it works fine for me. I use the blue cloth pads from Sears for applying wax and they seem to do a good job. :seeya

I use the 7 inch Waxmaster orbital buffer and love it. A lot of people like the Porter Cable but I didn't want to spend that much money. You can get the pads for the Craftsman or Waxmaster at Sears or on the internet. I didn't like the blue pads, they just seemed to slosh the wax around and I think they are overpriced for a disposable product. I use the foam or terry cloth pads to apply a thin coat and wash them after each use.
