cordless buffer
Any thoughts on this style buffer for light polishing and waxing ? Most of the reviews seem OK for light work.
I don't have access to power where I park.
Thanks for commenting.

No experience with it but IMHO, for $80 just buy and try it. If you don’t like it just send it back for full refund. Amazon is just so easy for stuff like this.

None of those small polishers will be able to do much work. That low-wattage motor is barely good enough for applying and removing wax.
If you can't swing the $200-250 for a quality budget polisher, this one is probably the best for under $90. It has decent power and a 15mm throw. Here is a good review:

Agree, considering time needed to buff a vehicle.. you'll go broke buying enough batteries or spend 2 days waiting for recharging.. we need to make a gas powered buffer lol

When it comes to battery powered tools, buy your system, DeWalt, Milwaukie, etc.. I picked up this on sale for $99 a year or two back.

Old post, but thinking about it, buy a cheap gas powered generator somewhere and bring a real buffer... problem solved
