I heard somewhere that you can't buff certain cars such as the Lexus and BMW is this true? https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,418,418#msg-418 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:07:31 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,418,440#msg-440 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,418,440#msg-440 Sico Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts Thu, 17 Jan 2002 16:50:06 +0000 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,418,437#msg-437 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,418,437#msg-437
If you're referring to using a high speed buffer (rotary) and an agressive compound, the answer is NO. UNLESS you are buffing out scratches from wet-sanding a new paint job.

NO NEW CAR should be touched with a rotary (or need to be for that matter). However, if you are referring to using a random orbital with a fine polish such as Meguiars #3, #7, or #9 or a non-abrasive Carnuaba or similar product, go for it. A random orbital is easy to use, relatively safe, and makes the job easier and allows a much more even application of the polish/wax.

A random orbital is a tool of the gods for detailing cars that are like new or well kept.

If I remember Toddco right, THIS is the same advice he would give.
