Take away the pads and polish which you'll need for either machine ($8 a pad x 3, and $14.99 for Speed or some other polish) and you end up with that 3D machine costing $60, the other is $20 plus velcro and some time.

I don't care which you choose as it's not my car and paint you are working on, I just posted here to counter the biased information that was presented on the cost of a good RO machine. He exaggerated the cost to make a point, which we all do, but a good RO machine does not cost $300+. That's really it.

If others rush out to buy the Turtle Wax buffer because of this thread... great. I'm sure it will be a nice "gateway" drug to them getting into paint correction. It can be fun and is certainly rewarding.
