Robb,

I just purchased a buffer last weekend. Sears had one for about $50. Did 
the 3 step meguires thing on saturday. I only used the buffer to apply 
the various waxes, etc. The buffer came with 2 terrycloth covers, so 
while using one I would wash and dry the other. Some of the curves on the 
miata made it tough to use, but on the whole it helped speed things up. 
Took about 4-5 hours and looks great.
