White is a tough color to get looking really great, and also difficult to photograph so as to properly show off your hard work. Looks like you've got it nailed on both counts though, Valith - your car looks fantastic!!!

If I spent an entire day with you in a one on one training session on the rotary buffer, I doubt I'd be comfortable turning you loose on your own car.

There are good DA buffers on the market, from Meguiar's G110v2 to the Griot's Garage unit to the Porter Cable 7424XP. They are pretty much all the same (although the 7424XP is a bit down on power compared to the other two)

I wrote a fairly in depth introductory article on using the DA buffer for our forum - you can read it at D/A Buffing 101 – An Introduction to the G110v2 (and similar) - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online and it should give you some good insight into how to use the tool for maximum results.

Mike, after reading this I went with the G110V2 and have not purchased my pads or polishes yet and was hoping to go over the link you posted above and it states it is no longer valid, any possibiity you can relink that? I think it would be a great place for me to start. Thanks!

Thanks for reviving the thread, Gary :D

I would like to add that ergonomically the Meguiars is better than the Porter Cable. The side handle of the PC unit does not allow you to 'lean' on the polisher and gives you a sore wrist. The bail handle of the Meguiars is perfect.

This is really odd - someone emailed me this morning and said the link was dead, too, but I checked it on my phone then and on my desktop just now and it's fine. I have no clue what is/was going on but I'll definitely look into it Monday when I'm back in the office. Just glad it's working now.

That's exactly why we got away from the stick handle and went with the bale handle. But personally, I never use a handle on any of my buffers, DA or rotary. I find I can get into tight areas (like under the side mirrors) easier without one, and I just feel more in tune with the tool by holding onto the body of the thing.
