buffer
 

my buddy has this sweet a** buffer. his dad got it. its just like a regular one but the head doesnt full spin around. it does quick little 1/4 turn back and forth, so you can hold it in one spot and not burn a swirls in ur clear coat. this sucker is idiot proof and it works just as good. i recommend this for anyone who is afraid to of swirling your clear coat or making some other mistake with a buffer

Probably talking about a variable speed random orbital polisher like this. I got mine from Lowes several years ago for like $100. This particular model is used by amateurs and pros alike. One of the best purchases I've made for my detailing arsenal. I would recommend this to anyone who may shy away from rotaries. ;)
