<< I got a new toy this weekend for my birthday. My parents-in-law (is that 
how
 you say it??) bought me an electric buffer for the car. Anyone know a good
 wax to buy for it? Also what pads should I get? I have a lot of swirls and
 some scratches I want to get out. Any help would be great, thanks! >>

Me and a couple friends use the Meguiar's line almost exclusively, with 
excellent results. Go to Pep Boys, Trak, even NAPA and check out the 
offerings, they have everything from compound, to swirl remover to 
paint-feeding restorers, to wax. Good stuff. Occasionally, I use the blue 
Xymol, the cheap one that you get at Wal*Mart or wherever. Works VERY well 
when buffer applied. Get foam pad covers for applying compounds, restorers, 
waxes, etc. Be sure to get the kind that have the plastic liner behind the 
foam, or you'll be cleaning goo off the buffer head pad all the time, between 
applications of different products. Get the terrycloth pad covers to buff off 
the wax/sealer/stuff. Or, you can do it with terrycloth towels, like hand 
towels. I get mine at Sam's Club, they have institutional 12-packs of towels 
for something like $10-12. Get the blue ones, or you'll be bleaching the 
white ones all the time.

Enjoy the buffer, and Happy Birthday!
