Re: Random Orbital polishers

The auto detailing gurus seem to love the Porter Cable #7424. I found this polishing guide a few months back, but haven't tried it yet myself.

Re: Random Orbital polishers

We use a 1000 grit disc on a DA then adapt the polisher on the spindle to buff. If we do it rhiht we do not have to buff. We get a show finish evertime. Porter Cablle makes good tools. I remember when they make lawn mowers. We do this for a living
