Pro/Con of using a buffer?
This may be a noob detailing question but what are the pros/cons to using a buffer.
I have been using elbow grease for years on my cars but I wonder if I can keep my cars in better shape with less work.
My fear would be damaging the paint.
Thanks!!!!

Im assuming your talking about a PC 7424....
Pros: Ability to remove oxidation, swirls, scratches are above and beyond what a "handjob" could ecen dream of.... Speed, 0-60 quicker than your Acura.
Cons: Well, ya have to fork out about $130.00 to get you going, then your going to discover every product ever made for car care, so you can see how rad you can get your car. Then you will discover your analness about car care, youll be driving around puddles, avoiding shade trees (sap, bird crap). Need i continue?

Someday, I WILL graduate to the Porter Cable and it's intricate choices of buffing pads. But I fear what exceldetail said about being paranoid of where you park, etc.. is starting to grow on me even with using the ordinary buffer.
