I have some swirl marks on my car that has been there since day one from the dealership. I have never used a Orbital Buffer before but my brother, who`s a contractor has tons of tools.



I plan to use his 8" Fein . Will this be overkill for a newbie. While alot of autopians seem to use the PC, it`s the same unit, only much larger. Can this unit be used in such a manner, that it is "idiot-harmproof".

If i remember correctly the Fein is a rotary polisher not a orbital. In the hands of a novice you can and will do damage to your paints finish. Buying the Autopia Ebook will also help you with your detailing problems and questions. http://www.autopia-carcare.com/
