What makes expensive Auto Detailing buffers better than cheaper ones?
Other than a longer-lasting motor, I don’t see how a really expensive buffer can be much better than a similar looking one that you pay about $20 or $30 for. What makes the expensive ones better or more unique? Also, what should I be looking for when I buy a buffer?
i was actually talking to a detailer about this. he bought expensive ones because they were much lighter, and when you are using them all day, it makes a difference.
i can also tell you that i have a cheap one (20 bucks) and that if you use even a little pressure it will slow it down.
