How about something like this...
Rotary Polisher
70 "quid" including VAT.

Might be something to start with. I started with an old Black and Decker rotary before moving to a PC. Rotaries are fine if you use your noodle and dont' sit in one spot. For the money it's worth a shot.

Do you have access to air? You might be able to find a DA air polisher. IF you can find a good one you can dial in the RPM pretty easily. The problem with air is having to wait for the compressor to catch up. Air DA's use a load of air so if you have a typical 5 gallon tank you'll be lucky to finish a panel before waitting for the air to catch up. Scratch the air idea... sounds worse the more I type!
