Buffer

What the best buffer out there now? Rupes? I heard there many out there. what the best

 

are you just starting out? Are you going to do this just to your vehicle and maybe some family vehicles?

For beginners and for budgetary reasons i would recommend the Porter Cable 7424. Its fool proof for someone whose a beginner and can still do what you need.

I have a Flex 3401 and a PC 7424. But i do a little higher volume and justify the cost of one, i use it every weekend. I started with the PC and it did 4 years of tough work and handled everything great.

 

for home use for now? maybe a high end one later to make extra money cheee. what about the pads and liquid brands

 

I still like Lake Country pads (5.5" or 3" for tight areas). The megs mf pads are pretty nice too and work well with their compounds/polishes.
I think you'll find that most of the polishes are going to be personal preference.

 

ooook

 

im not being rude, nor trying to be. But if you're literally just starting out i wouldnt even THINK about touching other peoples cars. Especially because you sound 100% new to this. Theres a long learning curve, especially if you're doing other peoples vehicles.
