recommendations on orbital buffer/polisher

[Lee M. Levitt]

I'm thinking about picking up an orbital polisher for use on my two
Audis...does anyone have experience with the Porter Cables, Black & Decker
or Sears units? Is a larger pad size good or bad? They range from 5-8" or
more...

The green metallic paint on the S6 needs a good detailing...to take out a
little oxidization and scratches...the pearl on the A6 is in much better
shape...but also needs a good general cleaning.

What's the best goop to use on paint in this condition?

Thoughts appreciated.
