Capt: What you got there is fine, I am sure a very good tool. I do know several guys that buff show quality cars with that type of machine. and for the novice I would recommend that machine it will be very forgiving.

'Plus you can get different results with different pads, different foams, different chemicals that you will use with it.

Once I have my cars 'done', i very rarely use another machine on them, I mainly use spray and wipes just to keep them looking good. Once in a while on new paint jobs the clearcoat will sort of haze over, just look a little cloudy.

That machine will assist greatly with removing that haze and take out very fine up to medium swirl marks or dust scratches.

My only caution meant for you to find a old ozidized car, get some cutting compound, polishing compound, finale glazing compound. Use them with three different foam pads and just learn what the machine will do and how much pressure and what the speed is to use it.

I think there are several on line videos available on how to do this type of thing.

You will be just fine with it. Just do not throw some chemical on the car, grab the machine and go to work without first practicing on something that is not so important.
