I'm noticing a lot of swirl marks on my car now and also I haven't waxed it in a while. I have a buffer, but I don't think I'd like to take it to my car. My dad used it on his boat and its made by black and decker. It looks pretty cheap.

I'd like to buy a new buffer. Can anyone recommend a good brand thats not to expensive? Should I buy a variable speed buffer or does it not matter? I was told that you want a really soft pad under the cloth but I don't know.

Also, Does anyone have any instructions on how to do it. What not to do would also help. Any tips, tricks or things to look out for? How often should you buff your car? What products should you use and in what order?

I know it's a lot of questions but I'm sure it will help out a lot of people if they use the archives. Thanks
