    Wax off?

    Can I use the orbital to remove the polish?

    you could use a DA with a mf bonnet to remove your LSP but you run the risk of marring/instilling swirls back (assuming you did paint correction before hand) into the paint. do it by hand and use a few soft medium plush microfiber towels...

    Some people do remove waxes' residues via machine;
    Some people don't. (I, for one don't.)
    Here's a good tutorial for wax removal by hand:

    Also:
    I noticed in your thread's title you said "Wax"...
    while in the body of your OP you said "Polish".

    Here's an article explaining their differences:

    You mean like this one?





    The answer is "yes".

    It helps to use a wax that dries not a WOWO wax and also apply a thin coat.


    Here's an article on those types of polisehrs....


    TOB = Traditional Orbital Buffer aka The Wax Spreader



    Might want to have a spare bonnet or two if you vehicle is large.
