I agree with Mr Bill

I have used both types of polishers, the orbital type is far more forgiving and the professional type yeilds better results.

If you choose the professional type it is very important to maintain movement of the polisher to prevent removing too much clearcoat. You should also stear clear of sharpe creases on the car where the paint is thinnest. Because the professional polishers spin at high speed they can create more damage in a short period of time. They will also remove a great deal of rubber/plastic from your trim if you accidentally touch them.

The orbital may require a couple more applications of the polish to get the results but its safer to use. The only downside I have seen to orbitals is that the foam pads tend to come loose or the cotton pads fly off. Hope this helps
