Is buffing a car bad?

How much does buffing a car cost?

Re: How much to charge to buff this car? When estimating the price for your work, as a rule of thumb I'd use between $20 and $25 per hour. It's really up to you what you end up charging however to do a full paint correction and exterior detail plan on spending 6 to 7 hours.

How often should you buff your car?

Now that you know how to properly buff out a car, you should know when to do it. In general, you should do this about once a year.
