Anyone know of any cheap rubbing compound that will do a good job? I am on the last step with my car and I need to buff it. Unfortunately I hit my budget and now I am low on money to work on my car. Any help? It will look weird driving around in a color sanded car.

I disagree.
Rotary buffers in the hands of an inexperienced person is a recipe for disaster. Too much heat transfer, and soon you've got no more paint left. Random orbitals used properly (up and down across the panel, then left and right across the panel) won't heat up and burn your paint. Now, a CHEAP random orbital will screw stuff up. I wouldn't go to Sears looking for a good random orbital buffer. Porter Cable makes a good unit, and I have Griots' 6" and 3" random orbital buffers and have zero scratch marks in my paint from them. Its just like any tool - use it improperly and you'll screw something up. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
