Porter Cable 7424. Takes an hour or more YouTube watching but it works and idiot proof like me, you can press hard as you want and won't hurt the finish. It has clutches to relieve pressure.. DJ an old tater taught me. Paint correction and polish like a pro. I still practiced on an old car before I tried mine

My truck's only a month old but I'm very fussy about all my vehicles and it'll still look this good after several years....hopefully.

Got her a month ago and this was after her first wash and wax. Not bad for an Oxford.

How about another OBS!? The previous owner must have used brillo pads on the hood I swear! Lot's of swirl marks on it! I've used my HF buffer on the entire truck once, and on the hood twice now. Each time it gets a bit shinier!

Just turned 10K miles. Fresh coat of Collinite 845 and interior detail. All work done by me. Wax was applied by hand this time. Next time will be with my HF DA random orbit.

I want to, but there's a few spots on my roof where the clear is cracking.
