Ryobi 10" Orbital

[aljo]

Hello all!



I`ve just purchased a Ryobi 10" Orbital and I don`t know if its a polisher or a buffer.



I want to use it on my dark green sc400 but i`m afraid it will burn my car.



From what I understand, a buffer is what the pros use and should not be used like people like me. They run from 1600rpm to 6000rpm. (Please correct me if i`m wrong)



This Ryobi buffer/polisher says it runs at a standard speed of 3600rpm.



So i`m guess that I have a polisher, but since it runs at such a high speed, i`m afraid it will burn my paint/clearcoat.



Any suggestions?



Thank you very much!

sounds like a orbital buffer/polisher....



It is very hard to burn paint with a orbital since the pad does not spin but kinda makes figure eights.



I also think the speeds are orbits per minute.
