    Anyone have a random orbital polisher to lend?

    Just like the title says, looking to do some detailing work on my badly oxidized diamantschwarz. I don't feature spending $200 on a DA polisher and pads, so does anyone have a kit they'd be willing to lend out? I can pay a deposit or whatever. Very much appreciated.

        I picked up a Porter-Cable 7424XP for $89 shipped with a pad a few weeks back. (porter cable is running $20 off any of their tools over $100 on amazon through the end of the month.) I know you'd rather borrow but it's a pretty good deal if you ever want to own one.

          ^ thanks for the heads up on that. Good deal! The site you linked is only showing
          $109. Is there a mail in rebate or something? If I can get it for $89i might go ahead and buy one

              I used Meguiar's ultimate compound with a cheap random orbital that I bought at wally world. It actually improved my paint a lot, but I think that's a testament to how badly oxidized my paint was more than anything else. It left a lot of haze and I had to buff by hand to get a lot of residue off. I think that was due to the shitty equipment. People using proper polishers have said good things about the Meguiar's stuff.
