Thumbs up Power Buffer Update

OK guys and gals, I got down with the new buffer I ordered from Meguiar's this past weekend. I used a Clay Bar first, then Meguiar's Gold Class Clearcoat Prep/Swirl Remover and Gold Class Wax. Followed the directions and...

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

My paint is so deep you could fall into it! Not a swirl mark in sight and smooth as a piece of glass! I am one happy camper. I even took it to the local mega-self-serve to look at it under all the sodium-vapor lights they have and the darn thing just glowed. I know that $200 is very pricey for a buffer...but if you want some spectacular results on your car or truck, this is DEFINITELY the ticket!!

I may just do it again this weekend! (yeah, I have a life...can't you tell??)

Do you have a part # and point of contact? I need a good buffer. Black paint, off-road, swirl marks -- Paint looks terrible. Taken it to the local carwash and paid to have it buffed but they didn't really buff it. The old saying "if you want it done right, do it yourself"

Thanks

Hey guys...point of contact is Meguiars Automotive products. You can find them on the web at www.meguiars.com

The buffer is made by Porter-Cable and is around $210. There is also a toll free ordering number on the website.

ROUSHFAN is right...it always pays to shop around. The reason I ordered from Meguiar's is that they throw in about $100 worth of product for around $35, and I needed to stock up! Now, Kenster, I'm not THAT in love with the thing. Besides...I already have 4 neighbors that asked ahead of you! *L*
