Re: how to buff an Alfa?

Luke, lose the drill attachment while you're at it. Those things are
guaranteed to make swirl marks. I've had good luck with Meguiar's Swirl
Remover and lots of elbow grease, followed by a good Carnauba and more
sore muscles. An orbital polisher would be the power tool of choice.
Use separate bonnets/hand cloths.

After you're finished, run over the umbrella a few times with the car
for revenge. ;=)
