I must have gone through a dozen el-cheapo buffers trying to do paint correction when I started out my detailing career. Cheap buffers are worthless for removing paint defects. There is no cheap alternative to using quality tools for paint correction.

if a cheap buffer turns at 1000rpm, and a makita turns at 1000rpm, they're identical. im talking about rotary buffers, not those big two-handed orbitals sold at walmart. they do cut paint, and cut paint fine, because its the exact same action! cut is determined by the pad, compound, and speed.
if you're buffing 1000 vehicles, yes you should buy a makita class buffer. if you're going to buff your car once and stick the thing in your garage, its really a waste of money. its about durability.
