Drill Attached Buffer?

Re: Drill Attached Buffer?

Actually the hollogram you see so often on black cars is from someone that doesn't know what they are doing using an orbital buffer. From what I understand, a DA (dual action) polisher is your best friend if you do not have the skills required to polish properly!

Stefan I think its more caused be the washing process itself more than anything. The two bucket method is key, black cars especially.

Question that is sort of related...
What causes the permanent swirls and holography looking effects you sometimes see in cars, especially black ones? I assume it is something to do with improper polishing. I'm always worried I will cause this but really don't know what one does to make it happen!

Re: Drill Attached Buffer?

OK thanks Pat. Problem for me is I go back to work on Thursday until Saturday. So I gotta get the car done before tomorrow night. I know it seems like a lot of time but I have my little guy this week and his form of "helping" isn't the best lol.

No man don't use that drill thing on your car's paint

If you can't afford like a Porta-cable you can get a cheap orbital polisher from walmart.

I used to have this turtlewax brand one that I bought for under $20 and with microfiber bonnets it was pretty good.

For wax and polish seriously stop by Carzilla on 16th ave they have the best stuff at a range of prices. They can also help you pick the right polish for your goals and equipment.

Autoglym if you must get stuf from Canadian tire.

Save the money for the drill attachment and put it towards a buffer

Has anyone ever used one with good results? I don't have enough cash to purchase a good quality random orbital. Also I have to buy my detailing stuff from crappy tire today. What would everyone suggest for a polish and wax product from there?
