What is Your Favorite Type of Buffer/Polisher?

[ArmstrongDetailing]

I realize not everyone here has tried all the kinds of buffers that are out there but if you could only use one buffer what would it be?

I have already said I would pick the FLEX XC 3401. It's the most versatile polisher I have found.

Their polishers are built to professional standards with features like rugged housing, variable speed triggers, controlled acceleration, overload protection, temperature monitoring, and auto shut-off carbon brushes. Whether you choose a dual action or a circular polisher, you will enjoy years of hassle-free use with your FLEX polisher.

Although the Cyclo has never let me down the Flex gets my vote with the rotary a close second. I'll never buy either one since I don't do enough work anymore to warrant either.......... but I can wish.

I'd lean towards the Flex if it weren't for it's lack of pad size choices. For that reason I voted rotary. However, I use the Flex most often for correction, the rotary for compounding, PC for finishing and a Metabo SXE400 for getting into tight places.

I would love to hear from the person who voted for none. I knew someone would but I can't see why other than being afraid of using a machine.

lol that would be me troy. I'm not afraid to use my buffers, in fact I use them quite often on rare occasions when I do private vehicles . I've got an orbital and a speed buffer. when I started dry washing aircraft I tried using the buffers to apply and then buff my aircrafts using jetstreams flyers speed wax they polish pretty ok but I found that when using these products elbow grease works alot better besides if you burn or swirl the paint on a vehicle it will probably cost you 1000 tops to fix it. If that happens to a flap or tail rudder your looking at 10 to 20,000 depending on the aircraft

Glad to see you getting away from the "Girlie Buffers".Why use anything else...

[9D4E420]

Hitachi 18SP18VA rotary for me definitely. If I had one choice it would be rotary for its quickness correction capabilities. If I was a hobbiest or weekend detailer I would have to vote for something else.

But the Cyclo Dave I picked the Makita too

Coming from the world of Meguairs. All I have used is the G100. G110, and a cheap rotary to practice on. So I had to say G100/110.
