Hello autopians, Ive been around this site for some time, even though I not a frequent poster Ive read almost all the C&B Threads, which is the point of my thread.



Which is the best Buffer kit I can get with a 350dlls budget, considering it will only to work on my car. Ive just waxed my car several times, but I believe it really needs a polishing session. So which pack would you recommend considering it will be my first buffer and I dont have any personal experience on that matter and I dont want to mess up my paint, also which pads and polish would I need that are not a PITA to work with.



My car is a 2008 Nissan Sentra SE R Spec V - Superblack. I think the car need some medium cut polish and medium cut pads (it isnt very damaged). Thanks in advance four your hints, tips and personal experiences.











Best Regards,



Richard

Should set you up pretty well and gets you well under your $350 budget.



If you think you need more cut you could add in the new version of 105 and you would be set for just about anything you will encounter on your car. Don't forget to add some clay and QD for lube. M135 isn't recommended for clay lube. Get yourself a sample of Last touch and an extra bottle to dilute in and you'll be set!
 
I just got the Meguiar's G110 kit from ADS, $150 and it gets you the unit, 2x polishing pads, 1 finishing pad, some MF towels, and the little bag. I plan to get a 5" or so pad for anything that requires any real cut. Then you've got some extra room to pick what sort of polishes and such you want to get too.
 
I've been salivating over the Flex for the last two months, but seeing the G110, I'm really considering it instead. I eventually want to work into a Mikita rotary as well, but I wonder if there would be a benefit to having the G110, Mikita rotary and eventually the Flex as well or if the first two would fill my needs completely (this is not immediate need mind you).
 
Last Spring I was in the same situation. After hours of time spent here, and a bunch of Autogeek type sites, I ended up with a rotary. I did have some rotary exp, I worked in a detail shop one summer in college. I got a cheap Northern Industrial rotary buffer, 7.5" pad kit, and Menz from Autogeek. I did my kid's beater, wife's car, then mine. I'm so glad I got the rotary. If you do, keep the speed down, tape the molding, put a sheet/big towel under the hood/over the wipers and vent area, and always know where the cord is.
 
Well I have all 3 now. Rotory, Flex, & PC. I listed them in the order of capabilities first. ( Help me here fellow Autopians if I've made a mistake) I bought a rotory first, because back in my younger days there was no pc. I have become very proficient with the rotory. I bought a Flex because of the Hype and I felt like it could help decrease some of the wear and tear on my body. I was given a pc by a good friend that was tired of it. I like the Flex best, but use the rotory more. The pc is used very little. It just takes longer than the other 2. Pad and product have become my biggest concern now!
