How do you wash your car?

DadDak, definitely no wool mate! too strong, you can burn the paint so please be careful!

I'm looking to buy a random orbital buffer to apply swirl removal compound..Where can I find one for cheap? (ie. around $50?)

To be blunt, you will get miniscule if no result at all with something that will be priced around that. :(

Basically the power, the rotation, oscillation (if any), and the ability overall to do anything to the paint itself. You have to remember all cars these days are not acrylic soft paints! They are all sprayed by robots with high quality paints for durability/longevity.

Something relative to that cost would be more a "product spreader" vs something that can correct/rejuvenate that paintwork for you. The DAS6 and DAS6 Pro are the machines that give you the ability to correct and repair the paintwork removing the holograms, swirls/marring/spider web marks commonly found on cars.

So comes down how far you want to go and how perfect you want the car.

Recommended apc?

Hmm, what kind of voltage of orbital buffer would I be looking at for removing swirls? I really want to remove swirls and scuffing from my paint. Doing it by hand is a killer.

The product used whilst the car was wet is Duragloss Aquawax - Basically you wash, rinse, spray on the car whilst wet and dry off with your MF towel/MF chamois.

How long does the snow foam last before you need a refill?

How many cars could it cover
