thanks. forgive the idiot questions, but i think i need some input on the actual polishing process. i'm just looking to take out some scuffs & light oxiddation as Chris Cripps mentions down towards the bottom of that thread. i see my orbital buffer won't work, so i'm shopping polishers. what would be a good value setup? i've found a Dewalt DW849 and Makita 9227C (these just spin AFAIK), and Porter Cable 7224 (dual action / orbital). whcih way should i be going here? i'd also like to be able to use whatever i get on my cars, and it seems you have to use an orbital on clearcoated paint. all i've ever done is hand-compounding, which would take too long in this case, so once i get a polisher, i need some direction on how to use the dang thing... which pads to use, how much compound to squirt where, mist with water, how to know when you're done, ........ please help an idiot. thanks.
