Orbital buffers are nice, but they are expensive.

However, buffers can easily scratch the paint if you dont use them right. I usually hand wax myself.

 

AMEN!

My Dad did car detailing for 40 years, he taught me to let the buffer do the work and never force it.

You will never forget a buffer burn in new paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Arrowslinger is right as well a ufgator. Though for some reason i just don't trust using a buffer i don't know why. I like waxing my car by hand. When i wax its one of those times where i can spend time by myself and not worry about someone bothering me.
