Craftsman 10 in. Buffer/Polisher —
Today a friend and I used this buffer on a black Taurus and my black C5 Corvette. We apply a paint cleaner/scratch remove, nothing aggressive, just an over-the-counter product that is typically applied by hand. Then we followed up with a good coat of wax.
The results were stunning on both cars! I'm very impressed. The buffer is simple to use (although a bit large for tight spots!) and is safe for vehicle paint.
I highly recommend a reusable 10 inch foam pad for application of paint cleaner and waxes. You can find them at any auto parts store.
This model is a single speed, so it won't be suitable for a professional. It cannot be used with professional abrasive compounds. That doesn't mean you can't remove those annoying swirl marks! Just apply your favorite paint cleaner/swirl remover that is designed be use by hand. A common swirl remover will work many, many times better when applied by machine!
I'm satisfied. The swirls on our cars are history and the paint looks great!
