hand wax and buff or Machine Polisher ??

Just spent about 8 hours washing hand waxing and hand buffing have tux pant about a month old I'm old school never used a machine polisher but I have seen some horrible swirls in some black cars I want to try a machine but can the swirls be prevented with tux black ????

Just make sure you learn about it before diving in. You can mess up your paint bad if you don't do it right. Ask me how I know. Lol

American made is good

I'm thinking Adam's Polishes Cyclo Model 5-Pro Machine Polisher and/or Adam's Flex 3401vrg Polisher I like AMERICAN

With the right machine and product, it's pretty hard to screw up. Try a Random Orbit Polisher like The Porter Cable 7424, or the Flex XC3401.

I use a Griot's Garage polisher. There are other good units as well.

Then pick high quality products and you'll be amazed at the resuts.

Check out Griot's Garage. Plus they offer classes or an instructional DVD if not local plus 800 helpline.

Yes I will spend the week researching info and practice on my wifes car ha ha

Whatever you decide, make sure to use Collinite insulator wax. I will never use anything else and I have tried much more expensive brands, just clean the paint really well first;

Insulator Wax » Collinite

Smart man!! If I haven't used mine in a while, I'll start with my old Bronco and wax it first, just to get back into the swing of it! I still hand wax some too, but using the right tools can make the job a lot more enjoyable, and you'll definitely wax a lot more frequently too since it's not as much of a hassle or time suck!!

Hey, sorry for the slow response!

Going from working by hand to working with a machine will change your life!!!

You can make improvements by hand, but you'll never get anywhere close to perfection. The human body just can't do the work that a machine polisher can.

Take a stroll through this video series on machine polishing if you haven't already:
