What's The Best Auto Buffer For You?
So many opinions, so much confusion!

Very few areas of auto detailing are filled with as much bad information as the topic of the auto buffer!

To make matters even worse, we have so many terms to keep track of:

  • Dual action polisher
  • Random orbital buffer
  • Rotary polisher
  • High-speed buffer

The industry can't even decide the official name for these machines. I get it; most industries struggle with this same problem.

Today's world of free information via the internet only compounds this problem. Anyone with an opinion gets the microphone and stage to voice their opinion —regardless of experience or expertise. 

The only adds to the confusion. But you have come to the right place where I can deliver my recommendations off my 30+ years of professional experience as a detailer.

Car Buffers: Pros and Cons

Many people are influenced by one of the most widely spread rumors of car polishing and the use of high speed buffers. It seems that the idea of using a "high-speed buffer" on car paint automatically sounds scary to most people and therefore people naturally buy into the much spread rumor of the dangers of using high-speed polishers on car paint. Add to this many inexperienced so called "professional detailers" who actually promote themselves as being "special", "unique", or a true "expert" because they never touch a car with a high-speed car buffer. The fact is that anyone who claims that polishing a car by hand is the only way to do it can only be guilty of any or all of the following:

  • Ignorant
  • Misinformed
  • Inexperienced

Just like so many other areas of life, power tools exist for a reason; they offer power, speed, and consistency that your body never could. Just as the proverbial saying goes, "Guns don't kill,; people kill". Well I will add to this, "Buffers don't destroy paint; inexperienced and foolish people destroy paint". It is the inexperienced or foolish person behind a car polisher that is going to be the problem. Ask any true expert paint finisher or detailer, you will never achieve the same results by hand that are possible with a car buffer!


Best Auto Buffers Review

Unlike most of the regurgitated information and opinions that circulate the Internet, my car buffer reviews are based on one critical point only:

Real World Experience. period!

It is one thing to have purchased a car polisher or buffer and "play" with it a few times on your own car, and then offer your "professional" opinion on some car or detail forum; entirely different to speak from a position based on decades of car polishing experience at a professional level.
