    Try the Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System. Works pretty good!

    IMO:
    -Once you get the DA...
    you'll find that switching from a rotary,
    (that is a direct drive and has a circular
    polishing action)...to a DA machine, (that
    has a different type of polishing action)...

    to finish up with the final polishing step(s):

    -may be just what you need to achieve
    the spotless finish you're looking for.

    They are the same thing: Orbital polisher, RANDOM orbital polisher, Dual/Action polisher, PC - all the same

    EXCEPT there are "wax spreaders" from Auto Zone Sears etc that ARE a type of orbital polisher, but they have no power for correcting paint, they are good for spreading wax - hence the nickname, but not for much else.
