Why We Love This Deal
While there’s at least a small cultural association between car washes and bikini weather, winter is a great time to get cleaning, too. Just as we should keep road salt off our car’s underbelly, a proper waxing can help it shed water faster. If you live in a rainy area, that can help make your car shine longer. Thankfully, select automotive gear has been getting marked down on Amazon lately, including this buffer kit that's selling for under $40.
The Gearlasso Car Buffer and Polisher Kit is now on sale for $37. That price is significant because it is difficult to find a set this complete under $50, much less under $40, and kits this complete can easily clear $60 or even $100. It includes everything except the wax itself, and it comes with dual batteries to fuel the cordless (i.e., convenient) buffer tool.

At its core, Gearlasso’s car buffer is akin to an orbital sander, right down to the random movements of its head that reduce streaks and swirls. It has eight adjustable speeds ranging from 2,800 to 6,000 RPM, so you can start slow and build up the pace depending on what you’re doing.
And there is quite a bit to do with this kit. While not explicitly an orbital sander, it does include sanding pads, but there are also the foam and wool pads you’d expect with something like this. They all attach easily to the spinner with a strong velcro that makes changing pads trivially easy. Just add car scratch remover or wax and get started.
As with most power tools these days, Gearlasso’s kit is battery-powered, and the company is generous enough to supply not only one, but two, batteries with the set. This allows you to keep one battery charging while working with the other, reducing overall downtime. Along with the fact that it uses a brushless motor, a motor style that promotes tool longevity, this is a really generous addition when you consider the price of the kit.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper started their review by calling their Gearlasso kit “A very complete system.” They then described the ease of using the system, changing both batteries and pads, and getting a “mirror-like finish” on their BMW convertible. The shopper also bragged that their local BMW club featured their post-shine vehicle on their Facebook page.
The batteries included are 2.0Ah batteries, which are typically considered on the small side when it comes to capacity. But does that mean that they’ll cause you any problems? Not at all. As one user who did a wax and polish job on their car said of the Gearlasso, it’s “lightweight and easy to use, and one battery did the whole car.”
The Gearlasso Car Buffer and Polisher Kit is now just $37, which is an unbeatable price for a kit this complete.
