it was late, i was tired and i posted in wrong section.
guess i didnt think it through but heres my post from the chat section

i recently got my car painted at a local shop and he did a pretty decent job.
it was a really small business and i got a good price.
well he finished painting my car and all that and i was supposed to bring it back to get color sanded and buffed
when i finally got around to it and he wet sanded about half the car, but i guess he got into some financial trouble and disappeared on me.
so now i was looking for a good cheap place to finish up the work
anyone know of one in the 626 area?
or should i just try and finish it up myself? although i dont have a variable speed buffer and i was never too good with bodywork.

what do you guys think?

Color sanding + buffing is a tedious job. I don't think there are any shops that would do it for cheap.

hmm i thought so, ill still swing by some random places to get quotes.
however i do have a buffer, its just that there's no variable speed settings.
its an old one too, but it works fine when i wax my car
do you guys think that buffer will work when applying the rubbing compound?
