    I ordered some detailing stuff for my car, so I decided to pick up a pro buffer and some chems for the paint and glass.....good bye to scratches/swirl marks and hard water stains. The buffer is from a company called Metabo, one of the best in the industry and yes it's made in GERMANY!!

    Yeah...I read that the way the metabo buffer was made it's hard to burn the paint, but I'm gonna be cautious anyway.

    Yeah I don't think it's a true rotary but more like a PC on roids.

    I actually JUST called Titanium Hawaii for a quote on Swirl removal... I have to bring the car in because the color is "different" from what they said on the phone...

    If the quote is ridiculous, and you gots some skillz with that buffer, I may have to hit you up...

    i know on my B5 the porter cable did ZERO to the swirls in the Cactus Green and it was suggested to go with a rotary buffer...

    Audi is infamous for its extremely HARD clear coat and swirls don't come out easy...
