not sure a car cover will do it. Lake microfiber pads appear to be pretty good, but I am not an expert. I had hoped for twins but six months after my son was born I was so glad we did not have twins.

For buffing/polishing pads...
What type of polishing machine do you have?
Make/model

For a car covers I like the Covercraft products

Here are some questions to start...
Is the car cover for indoor or outdoor storage?

If it's for outdoor storage...
Where do you live?
How is the weather?

If it's for indoor storage...
Do you want just a soft light/thin dust cover?
Do you want padding to protect from bumps?

Can you post a picture of the machine? Does it look like this one?



Things to consider.
Ability to wash and dry (I prefer at home)
Warranty - 4 years (they replaced my cover)

Let us know if you need any help. We are available by phone, email, and forum. We also offer a price guarantee. Merlinii is correct, it will depend on buffer type. Most use a PC but others exist which are simply best used for waxing versus polishing paint.

If you want to review the covers, we also offer a spreadsheet on site with the many different types offered. Normally the Noah and the Weathershield are the most popular. The Weathershield is a bit lighter and can travel. (I had mine for 5 or more years). If you are only going to use it in the garage, for Form Fit's are awesome.

Contact Autogeek and visit with the experts they have on staff. Don't get some cheap auto parts store DA. If you are going to invest in a DA, pads and product do it right the first time and contact Autogeek.
