1st time using clay bar

[Porschekid]

Is there a brand of orbital buffer that anyone recommends? Seems like they can't all be great if you can find some for $10-$15. Are they any better or worse than applying by hand? I would really love to find a time saver when doing an overhaul on my car. Also, wax as you dry spray... good for keeping the shine longer after every wash?

-thanks guys, great info

I never use a wax. I clay the car and then use Sonus and Klasse. Acrylic System that is simply great. It also strips the wax off so I avoid the whole Dawn discussion.

I also use a 10 inch orbital, which saves tons of time.

Thanks to the Stryke for all the professional tips.

Here's a good price for the Porter Cable, this offer comes with the velcro backing plate to switch between polishing and finishing pads, this is usually not included.

I've tried searching their site, can't find it (at any price) there. You wouldn't happen to have a URL or SKU for it handy, would you?

No, it wasn't online. I saw it this week at my local Lowe's store.
