I don't like cars prepared with a buffer. You can instantly spot them.

Well, I'm old school and I own and use a buffer.
Yes it takes talent to get a flawless single stage job- but it also requires good prep work and a dust free environment. Sorry,I can't even give a good estimate of how many vehicles I have painted.
My 65 Mustang took first place at many judged shows and believe me,it was sanded flat and wheeled.
If you see wheel marks in a car, then whoever wheeled it out didn't do it right or just doesn't know how.
BTW, in the old days they used gasoline and wet sand paper to get out dust and crap, then rubbing compound with the palm of their hand,now that is some real old school for ya.

i agree! we paint heavy duty road trucks in our shop for the state of colorado,we use nothing but imron.its by far the best paint we have used.we spray 3 trucks a day,no buffer in sight.any 5 year old could spray what is basically colored primer,spray some clear over it and call it a paint job,but it takes talent and skill to spray single stage because you only get one chance to get it right.and btw,old school body guys didnt use buffers to sand laquer paint jobs,they did it by hand using water and 1000 grit.
and if youre REAL old school,you know how to use lead!!!

If the paint is applied properly,you don't NEED a buffer.Buffers are to fix mistakes.....

A real bodyman can straighten metal; a rookie can replace it, (maybe).
