Hi all, new to the site, just like to start off by saying that i'm addicted after seeing some of your efforts on cars and i'll be getting a PC in the new year because of it all.

I have a question about random orbital buffers/sanders.

I have a RO sander which apparently spins at between 4000 and 12,000 rpm, i know that the PC is between 2,500 and 6,000 so would i be ok using my buffer on its lowest setting of 4000?

I'm a complete newbie at this and never seen someone use a RO on their car before but spinning at 4000rpm seems to be spining a lot.

Thanks in advanced.
