I need to purchase a good orbital buffer to detail with. What are you guys using, and why? I checked in to the Meguires one and it seems pretty good, but a little pricey.

Also, where did you guys purchase yours? Thanks!

I just bought a porter cable polisher about a month ago and it is great. It is model number 7336sp.

Where did you get it, and if you don't mind, for how much?

$110 @ Lowes. I also bought a velcro backing plate and pads from classic motoring accessories .

I have heard good things about the Porter units but I have a Sears 9" Craftsman buffer. I do my TA by hand since I use Zaino but I use the buffer on my wifes car with Mothers wax.

I use the good olde Craftsman 9" random orbital waxer. Pretty cheap, and gets the job done. 3.5 years old and keeps running.

Porter Cable from Lowes.. I have the Craftsman one also but once you use the PC unit you will laugh at the Craftsmans obital (no offense Andy)

Jon, if you want to try both then come on over.. I will sell ya the Craftsman one cheap if you prefer it..

Oh, with my PC unit I use the Meguires foam pads (Red, yellow and tan)..

I guess I'll go over to Lowes and check out the PC unit. That's cool that I can use Meguires foam pads too.
