Buffers?
Hey guys!
Looking for some advice here. A buddy of mine is looking for a good, high-quality, professional buffer that is light weight. Light being the operative word here. He does mobile marine detailing and some of the boats are in the water, so he regularly has to one-hand it, while doing so in some awkward positions. What do you guy recommend?
Thanks in advance!

Well they're not professional brand or high dollar. But a friend of mine buys the cheap harbor freight buffers. They do a really great job. He buys extra brushes and just rebuilds them when they wear out. He does marine detailing also. Very light weight also. I bought one for myself and it seems to do the trick.

There are some companies selling 3'' and 6'' buffers. Snap On being one of them, small buffers are always light weight and easy to handle. But they suck for large areas.

Thanks guys. I've got myself a Fein random orbit buffer which has been simply awesome over many years of service. It's my personal buffer, and I've put it through its paces, but it's heavy as hell. If he could find something of similar quality that's light, that would be the ticket.
