Orbital Buffer Question

RE: Orbital Buffer Question
Thanks so much for the replies, folks.
I've been wanting the PC for a long time, not only for it's effectiveness as a buffer but I also have various home DIY sanding jobs where it would come in very handy.
I think that's the angle I'm going to try to use on the wife - "But honey, I can finally finish patching that hole in the wall from 5 years ago".
Just wish I could've figured outa 'dual-purpose' excuse for the CAI/tuner combo that's taken me nearly a year to get the green light on.

Any carnauba-based wax can tend to have a little bit of dusting, especially if you use too much.
If you only want to save your arms -- and don't have defect removal -- you're fine with just about any buffer.
General rules of thumb:
Turn the buffer upside down and slowly spin pad and lightly squirt product in a circular pattern from the outside-in, about 1/2" apart, working your way inwards.
Flip the buffer back onto the surface and "pat" it a few times throughout your working area (about 2' x 2'). Lightly rest it and start the buffer. Apply the product with the buffer in back-and-forth motions, overlapping by 1/3.
Let haze until a light wipe with your finger cleanly removes the wax -- then buff off with a microfiber towel. If you let it dry any longer, you're asking for more work than necessary.
If you really want to make your life easier, head over to Wal-Mart and pick up some FX SynWax -- easier to apply, easier to buff, and there's no dusting.
