Random Orbital Buffing

[mazmitch]

Hey Guys
Some of you may know that in my spare time and weekends i like to detail cars, i recently took the plundge and bought a random orbital buffer and have had fun using it. The beauty of the buffer compared to hand buffing is that you have alot more power behind it and can remove scratches and swirls much easier producing a flawless finish and a killer shine.

Here are some pics from last weekend

I have a dark blue 2002 SP20 astina and the paint is looking a little dull in need of a freshen up.

wow .. this is the story of a man and his orbital buffer.. the passion, the love, the orbital motion... :p lol sounds like another version of brokeback mountain involving a orbital buffer.. i have 1. does a good job but since my car is white you dont tend to notice it that much. just when its in the sun you need sunnys or u cant look at it coz of reflection..

If you want u can buff my car 2.. i only do it like once every 3 months or so

Might want to gain a little more experience with a buff before offering services to others. Buff's can easily make a hell of a mess to paintwork in inexperienced hands.(coming from a car detailer with 15yrs experience) Seen lots of nice jestures go horribly wrong. Not trying to say you can't but the damage a buff can and will be expensive to repair. Unless there's a few dungers out there who have nothing to lose!!!!

on way home went through a round about...back left came out...then i got the back left to slide out...then it went back to the back left cause there was a gutter on the right... and then i went down an embankment sideways just missed a steel lightpole by less than 1 metre...and then i seemed to stop at the bottom... dirt and freshly cut grass all trhough my car and one hell of a ride...ohhh and a mate that got scared ****less :p hahahaha!
