Do any of you guys know a good place I can trust in the chicago area(woodridge,naperville,downers grove) to buff my black truck?I'm to chicken to do it myself!

 

Delta Sonic and Turtle Wax have done me pretty well in the past.
Are you worried about price?? If not check a few body shops in the area(Your Body's Mine is great but may be out of your location circle) They charge a bit more than detail shops though.

As far as the chicken thing goes..... I was like that too, Try the foam pads on the buffer. It's ALMOST impossible to burn through the paint, leaves a clean finish, and if you hit it with a glazing compound prior to waxing you should'nt see any swirls.


EDIT: You could call NeatStreet Autobody I think it's in Aurora. He has the resourses and/or contact info that you'd be happy with too.

 

Thanks alot birddog63,I'll try neatstreet autobody and see what he say's.I got one quote from a body shop in naperville(can't think of the name off hand)but he quoted me $300.00 for buff and wax.

 

$300 Ouch!!! $100 for a real buff is reasonable...

 

You're right to be concerned about the buffer. It's the fastest way to burn through paint and make a grown man cry.

You should use a random orbital. I just bought a Porter Cable Orbital from http://adamspolishes.com/ . He sells premium detail products and has online videos showing each phase of the detail process and why.

If you want to enter shows or just have a beautiful ride, this site is for you. The orbital makes waxing and polishing easy in about a quarter of the time.

 

Hey Nico, is there a particular reason you would like to have your truck buffed out?
I don't know the condition of your truck, but unless it is in really bad shape, I would refrain from buffing a Black truck.
I have a Black SD that had a few blemishes and went to the dealers body shop and they buffed the entire truck and now it looks like a$$.
I have since done some researching on this subject and what I keep hearing unless you REALLY know what your'e doing keep a buffer away from black.
I peasonally use a product called "Race Glaze" its a 3M product its a polish that will clean the paint as well a seal it. I prefer to apply and remove with micro-fiber towels.

 

try one of these, by hand, available at autozone, AAP, etc:
