i bought a buffer from sumit racing because i had a certificate there from a friend. It was a vector 7" orbital buffer/sander. i bought some foam pads and washed the car with gold class car shampoo, then i took the fine cut cleaner and buffed the car with the harder foam pad until dry and then moved to the polishing with a softer foam pad and buffed with that. then i waxed the car after i had made sure the polishing compound had been buffed thoroughly. I used the Gold Class wax at the end. hope this helps guys
