electric buffer/polisher?

[R Mangas]

  After reading about 6.02E23 posts on www.autopia.org about random orbital
buffers and the like I bought a PorterCable 7636 at Lowes for $109.  Even
with the *most* agressive polishes and pads that I have I've yet to do
anything even remotely harmful to my paint.  Anyone can do it, and get much
better results than by hand.

$0.02,
Robert
