Anyone know how to buff paint?

the difference between a buffer and an angle grinder is the speed. i usually run my buffer at 2400 rpms, a little on the fast side. an angle ginder is around 7-8000 rpm. major difference.

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.
