Never used one as I'm told by bodyshop pros that you can easily ruin your paint if you don't know what you're doing. A lot of pro's learn in a shop or on junk cars, first.

I had my '90 LX buffed out two years ago.
The guy who did (a friend in the business) suggested I let him tape all the plastic trim (extra charge) to protect it, which I did. Great job, but it thins the clear coat a bit. I paid $80. and was satisfied.

I have a neighbor who has one of the auto zone ones. i tried it out on my truck, and it did a great job, so i will use it on the stang next chance i get. this is one of the low speed ones, so i don't think there is to great of a risk of ruining the paint.

p.s. thankx for the info.
