Ok, I wasn't familiar with this buffer and checked it out. It will not have enough power to do any paint correction. The Porter Cable is the best tool for the money if you want to remove swirls and do paint correction.

Spend the money on the PC! I got one and used it on my F-150. It kicked ***. Sorry, Justin but I used Meguiar's products. I had some trouble with the Optimum Polish, it took way to long to break down.

Did you use too much product? I use Optimum all of the time and you don't have to use as much product as other polishes. If you use too much it will take forever to break down.
