[QUOTE="AdamsPolishes, post: 648213, member: 10587"] Did you get an orbital, or a high speed rotary buffer? I'd guess you got a high speed/rotary buffer at that price point, considering you're mentioning bonnets. I think the HF orbital is around $50. If that's the case, I would not dare touch any paint I cared about with it. Rotaries can and often do cause [I]immediate[/I] damage that only a body shop can repair. Everyone has heard the story "Yeah, I saw my buddy burn right through his clear coat with a buffer!" They have their place in the world of detailing, but most definitely not in the hands of anyone who the transition into the world of machine polishing. For that, a D/A or orbital is the right choice. Foam or microfiber pads are used for polishing/sealing/glazing/waxing, and it's best to use high quality microfiber towels to remove the residue from all of the above. If you did indeed get an orbital, then disregard my above warnings. :) [/QUOTE]
