My dad pulled out a polisher he has, and its a craftsman 6" 1400/1650rpm polisher.
Can I use this on my car if I buy the pads for it?
Or is the speed too high/low?

You said "RPM", which suggests to me that it operates in a rotary motion, rather than an oscillating motion (which would be OPM). If you are new to detailing (obviously you are new to this site) then you probably don`t want to use that polisher on your paint or anyone else`s. Rotary polishers can be dangerous to paint if they are in the wrong hands. I would recommend getting an orbital polisher instead, which is very safe for beginners.

The speed is okay as long as it does not go beyond 2000 rpm. and is VARIABLE (meaning, aside from the speed setting 1-6, it must also control accelerating speed from the trigger, just like the 9227c)
But if you`re new to rotary (a powerful machine), don`t even think about it.

Thanks for the advice guys. Ill stay away from it for now. Ive been polishing for about a year now by hand anywho.
I want something that can get swirls out of paint, and also use to apply AIO and SG.
Will an orbital work good for that?
Youll need a PC for the swirls, or strong arms. an orbital isnt going to do anything.
