Gopher, dooooo it. I made the move a month ago. I am able to do MASSIVE paint correction now in probably a 1/4 of the time I did with the PC and remove much deeper swirls. I would start with wool if I were you and stay with wool. It runs much cooler and IMHO is safer for newbies. Get a scrap panel too so you get a "feel" for the machine and how to make it move around. It's not just the time savings, but the actual appearance of the paint that looks a lot better after being under rotary surgery
. I've been burnishing black paint with 3M's Ultrafina, man, like a MIRROR.
