    I am a relative newb to swirl removal. I have been using XMT360 on an orange LC pad with my Makita 6040. It has made every vehicle I have done look great, even without wax. And it seems to really last, as my Ram is just as shiny today as it was the day I did it, probably a month ago. But it...

    Looking for opinions on Makita 6040

    I just bought my first real buffer. I bought it before I found any forums dedicated to detailing and now I would like opinions on it, after the fact. Any suggestions on which consumables are best for it? Is it a good "first" circular buffer? Thanks.
