I've always been pretty good at detailing my cars but this is my first black vehicle and the scratches from random idiots touching/leaning/rubbing on my car have started to add up and it turns my stomach everytime I find a new one! I've tried rubbing compounds but I don't think the old hand method is working as well as an electric buffer could. The thing is, I don't want to spend a fortune on one and I'm not even sure what a good brand is. I just need a small one, maybe 6" or 7" max. It doesn't have to be industrial strength or anything, just something sufficient to take the swirls and surface scratches off of my car before I put down the beautiful layers of Zaino. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking to spend less than $100 here, but any help is appreciated. Thanks

Pepboys, checkers and biglots always have sales on them. If you hurry and check all the auto stores this week their will be some great deals(Fathers day). I have already seen some for around 15, dont know how good they are, but it will probably work just fine.My Car <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/tucsoncamaro\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/tucsoncamaro</a> <br />3 inch flowmaster catback system, with ceramic coated pacesetter headers,3 inch cat,K&N FIPKComment
