Buffer? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Friends, I am in need of some professional advise from those that have been there! I have a Cyclo Dual Head Model 5-Pro buffer that I used on my vehicles. Love the machine but difficult to use on my wheels?

I have several sets of wheels that are clear coated, 1990 ZR1 Corvette, two sets of Camaro 21" VZP and VZN wheels. I have very minor swirls (light scratches) from washing or wiping down. With the dual heads on the Cyclo buffer I find it quite difficult to control.

I have top shelf professional 3M machine rubbing compound as well as the machine polishing compound.

Is there a nice buffer out there that would have a smaller head that I could control easier on the spokes. spoke are fairly wide.

I will post a couple of pictures of the different wheels I am talking about.

In advance, than you much
Larry
