I thinking about getting this Alltrade 7 polisher/buffer for 80 buck comes with 3 yr warranty. I have hand held orbital but not strong enough to get swirls. I work a gas station and we have an account at a parts store so i can get what ever I want the only have the alltrade I need it to get these scratches out 26798 I used small orbital didn't seem to work. This the first time of me using one. I plan and going down to my family farm they have alot of stuff I can polish up. So I can get the feel for it. What pads should I get that will fit Thanks

Not familiar with that polisher, but the price is right and the warranty is better then any other that I've heard of. What is it's lowest speed setting (rpm's)

Looks like you are dealing with scratches more then swirls (picture)

For rotary use I would get wool pads. You'll get more bang for your buck by using wool

Well I finally got it, it's a trades pro by alltrade. I also got some waffle pads white, light blue and black. So going to go work on cars down on the farm so I can get the feel before I use it on mine.

Well I used the polisher on my mom's suzuki xl7 which is pretty beat up dents scratches. Then after I got the hang of it I turned my attention to the halo's on my car. I am going to go with smaller pads the 7" pads are too big would work great on boats or truck beds. I used Megs Ultra Compound. 27164
