Just to add to what Gary said, I have heard good things about the Makita
9227c, you can find it online for about $190. It has three speeds and goes
as low as 600 RPM, good to practice with....but you do have to stay on your
toes not to burn through the clear coat or color coat.
Depends what you wanna do. If you just want to wax, then a walmart orbital
buffer. If your paint is faded or has minor swirls/scratches, then try the
Makita type buffer/polisher with some 3m Perfect-II compound or Presta
Strata compounds.
Just a thought.
