i just picked up this guy last week for 35 bucks at harbor freight tools i love that store but i do have experience with these detailing for a toyota dealership. i highly recommend this tool if you want the best possible shine out of your car.and to cut the work and time in half.

lol, We had one of those Harbor Freight buffers at my shop and it couldnt buff a damn thing. If you use any pressure at all, it would just stall out. We also had a sawzal from there that broke on its first use. Tried to cut into a floor, and the whole head snapped off at the handle.

From my experience, the best thing to do to remove wax/old wax is to use a mild detergent like dawn in a 2 gallon bucket of water, use 1/2 an ounce of the detergent. Wash the car amd rinse, inspect paint (if you have a gauge to meassure the paint), clay the car and no need to put pressure while claying. Some people i have spoke with said washing the car after claying will help rinse off any residue left from the claying. Then just finish off with a wax/polish.

I got an orbital beginner polisher from autogeek and love the thing. I don't have problems and haven't ran into any.
