Any of you guys in Illinois want to detail my car? I detail my car at work (I work at a Chevy dealer) but I dont know how to use the buffer so usually I just wash my car and dry it down and that's good enough for me! Which it usually does look amazing no matter what

I've used it with Meguiars 105 and 205 compounds, and the car looks AMAZING, it's smooth as glass, but still has some swirl marks in it. I really would prefer NOT to spend a whole heap of cash on a new device, but if I NEED too, I will, Gritos Garage has some VERY nice and VERY pricey products, including a 6" and 3" orbital with pads.

Most Buffers, id recommend a DA, you can get for around $150. I recently acquired the Meguiars G110v2 DA Polisher and it works great. I was able to restore a 90% to 95% correction on a Yellow Lake Country CCS Pad and Meguiars Compound to start on scratches and swirl marks

Yep I know them well. Their orbital buffer they sell is made by porter cable and it's almost the same thing Meguiers sells. Their car care products are OK. I buy there undercarriage spray, spray on wax and car wash in a bottle. They also sell the most amazing micro fiber towels. The polishes and waxes I use are all Megiures.
