Whats the best Drill Buffer?

Hey guys I am looking to find the best drill buffer for buffing the wax from the car.

What do you guys think is the best? And how often do you need to change them?

That has nothing to do with the question I asked dose it? I did not ask whats better hand buff or drill did I? Or you just cant read can you....

When you wax over 20 cars a day let me know when you find someone that can wax that fast with 2 cotes each car....

p.s sorry I'm grumpy right now didn't get my test pipe today or my intake UPS sux

You're absolutely right....I gave a useless response, not gonna deny it . I was in "let's be a ******* to this dude because I hate when people use that crap" mode .

Why not play it safe, purchase a porter cable 7424, 6" finishing foam pad, some microfiber "sleeves", and go to town that way? Initial cost of about $250, but if you're waxing 20 cars a day....negligable start up cost! With added safety for the customer's paint!

UPS does suck...Fedex ftw .
