Does anyone use one of those orbital buffers to apply and buff? How much and where do you get one? Will it harm the paint?

I prefer to do things by hand but I'm having trouble removing stuff from the paint.

Just be careful while using an orbital buffer and be sure to use the right kind of pad. There is a much greater chance of messing up something with an orbital buffer, so I stick to doing stuff by hand.

i used it.

i wouldn't suggest it tho. it takes to much brain work to learn how to use it right.. i never got it down. i forgot what i use it on now.. hahaha. (not waxin' or buffin) i suggest you use the liquid turtle wax. it's real easy to apply and wiping it of is even easier. that thing works well too.

I use one all the time. It makes polishing a lot less work. Just don't apply more pressure than you would with your hand, and use the same kind of pads you would if you were doing it manually. They are designed to simulate your hand motions, only faster. I get a lot better shine with an orbital than I ever could by hand.
