The pads and compounds are more important than the buffer itself. You could ruin your paint using a $1200 buffer and ordinary pads, but have an excellent finish with a $80 buffer and good quality pads etc...
Who here actually uses a buffer? I know i dont :)
But then again, my E30 has 15.5yr old paint on it :buttrock

YES! a BIG art to it.. i fucked up part of a few coloumns i was sanding back (not the same, but same priniple)

you might feel as if you're not pressing hard neough.. WELL YOU'RE WRONG!

i'd personally test it out on me mums or dads car first, fuck their paint up and leave the good work to your car :P
