Default Orbitals?

Anyone know of a good orbital? Good for beginners; safe on paint etc.

I have a Black and Decker.It's just a glorified drill motor with a nine inch orbital polisher head but it works very well and is easy to control so if they still make them I would recommend one of these.If you can't find one of these,look for something around that size as they are easier to use around tight places.Our cars have plenty of tight places.BTW if you can get one with two speeds or variable speed,get that one.

Yeah I use a black and decker orbital when i do cars ( I detail as a little side buisness)

If you have an air compressor, Likea SERIOUS air compressor (in the 20-30cfm range, nothing from sears) you can get an air powered one from either Hutchins or Viking, both quality american Made sanders and you can oder then with different orbits to them as well. MAC also makes a really good one, but you need to have acess to a mac tools dealer.
