    I picked up a Makita 9227 today and ordered the edge buffing pads .. :cool I have been waxing and polishing everything by hand and just dont have the time to spend four hours waxing..
    I hope this cuts the time down by at least half... and hopefully i will be able to remove the swirl marks on my car I will post before and after pics good or bad :wait
