I hear that random orbitals are the best. Porter Cable was a brand that was recommended to me.

Well, there are a few types out there that I have seen GOOD
results with!!

The first one uses a circular motion with very little cloth actually
touching the paint!!!!! NO SWIRLS!!!!

The second one uses much more surface area to get more done
faster!!!! SAVES TIME!!!

The third one has FOUR buffers on the paint at the same time!!!!
Very efficient and leaves a very SMOOTH finish on your paint!!!

Here are the pics of all three in order!!!

Hmmm, I think we need to see more models for better comparison shopping.

Maguiers sells a Porter Cable. That's the one I would get.

Go to www.coastaltool.com and order the Porter Cable 7424 Without a doubt the best home use orbital out there. Will run you around $100. I have it and I love it. Coastal has the best prices around. Don't buy from Griot's or Meguiars. All they do is mark up the price of the PC.
