Job Description
Auto Body Buffer / Polisher - Collision Experience Required Ben Clymer's The Body Shop www.benclymers.com Full-Time Monday-Friday No Weekends Weekly Pay Benefits + 401(k) We're looking for an experienced Buffer/Polisher who wants to spend the day doing exactly that. This is not a wash-and-detail position and not a role that rotates through other shop tasks. You will buff and polish freshly painted panels all day, every day, and rarely anything else. This role requires hands-on buffing experience earned specifically in a collision center. General detailing, dealership prep, or car wash experience does not meet this requirement. What This Role Looks Like
- Buff and polish freshly painted panels using high-speed buffers and dual-action polishers.
- Color sand and remove imperfections such as runs, orange peel, dirt nibs, and minor defects without burning or swirling paint.
- Work around freshly painted vehicles with full understanding of paint sensitivity and cure times.
- Inspect finished panels against quality standards before they leave the paint department.
- Maintain buffing pads, compounds, and equipment.
- Keep your work area clean, organized, and safe. What We're Looking For
- Minimum 1-2 years of buffing/polishing experience specifically in a collision center.
- Proficient with high-speed buffers and dual-action polishers on fresh paint.
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S.; valid documentation required.
- Valid CA driver's license; ability to pass background check.
- Strong attention to detail and pride in a flawless finish.
- Dependable, safety-minded, and comfortable working PPE at all times. What We Offer
- Full-time schedule, Monday-Friday, no weekends.
- Weekly pay.
- Medical, dental, vision.
- 401(k).
- Paid time off + holidays.
- Stable, long-term employment with a reputable family-owned company (40+ years), six locations.
- Work with premium PPG paint and quality equipment.
