Good wax to use with a buffer?

legemino · 10-01-03, 09:17 AM

Amigos, I have a crafstman electric buffer that I just inherited and want to wax my 91 vineyard grey coupe with. The car's paint is in good condition, so I am asking what is a good liquid wax to do it with. I generally use liquid zymol with excellent results when doing it by hand. Please advise. Thanks!!

liquid wax is fine. doing it with an oribital buffer is ok too. u might find some swirls tho if looking at it at certin angles. best bet would probably just wax by hand if u have alot of time. when waxing by hand use straight back and forth motions, this will reduce swirls unlike circular motions. peace drew

3M Swirl remover will remove the swirls for you.
