Question About Using a Buffer
I am planning on buying a random orbit buffer in the next day or two since I have never used one. My question is what kind of bonnet or whatever you call it should I use? I am mainly buying it to use for polishing. The only kinds of bonnets that I have found so far are Microfiber ones and Terry Cloth I believe. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated since I want my car to look great

Foam is a prefered material for polishing/applying product but I dont know if they make a bonnet to fit an orbital in foam. Im used to a DA polisher and pad setup. As it stands now though I would say use the terry for polishing and a microfiber for buffing.

you arent going to do a whole lot of "buffing" with an orbital, in order to properly buff you will want a good quality rotary polisher (i.e. - Millwaukee, DeWalt, Makita). I only use orbitals to apply wax. When I was a detailing noob i bought an orbital to buff and it didnt do anything, I was eventully able to work the polish in, but it took forever.

i went to Griotsgarage.com and bought all my stuff for detailing my car so far because they were recommend my over 40 people to me at some car shows and even detailing shops told me to go to them lol
