This system attaches to a drill. I recommend a corded drill. The drill I purchased has 1500 RPM which falls under the recommended 1200-3500 RPM. My car only has about 600 miles on it, but there are some swirl marks and scratches from improper washing at dealership. I want to learn how to properly wash and maintain my car/protect the paint.

Before I began detailing. Paint doesn't need much correction, but I can see the swirls in the sun.

Step taken:
1. Hand wash/dry two bucket method
2. Clay Bar
3. Hand wash/dry two bucket method
4. Polish
5. Wax

Completed

The entire process took me about 6 hours. Polishing took the longest. After completing this a larger buffer would have speed up the process, but the smaller buffer was great to get the harder to reach places and smaller surface areas. I think once I become more experienced this will compliment a full sized buffer very nicely. The polish gave the car a nice glossy look almost like glass or wet paint. Not all swirl marks were removed so next time I do this I think I will add a swirl remover step. Like I said I am new to detailing and any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has any questions please let me know. I hope this will help anyone looking to get in to detailing.

Thanks for recommending this op. On amazon, they have a $40 (attachment only) and a $90 bundle. What do you recommend? Buying the $40 attachment and buying the sprays/bottles separately or go with the bundle?
