Get an orbital buffer... they work really well... and you can get a cheap one for like $20.

Understood.

actually if your just buffing spots and not a whole bedside, one of those powerball things would work w/ the drill. get something like meguires polish/cleaner. use medium pressure at first, working to light pressure to polish to a shine. other wise they sell cheap buffer polishers, they run on the low rpm side but still get the job done. just stay away from the paste rubbing compounds, they have a pretty harse scratch thats hard to get rid of.

Uh.....yea....that IS a little bit of a difference. Well, the whole truck pretty well needs it. There's a few spots where the clear coat has turned white and rough. It's got little scratches in the clear coat pretty much all over from being a 9 year old 4X4. I should probably take the truck to a professional detailer to buff and polish the light to moderate stuff out. I just don't have money and am trying to be cheap.
