Careful with those things. It's real easy to blow through paint if you don't know what you are doing.
Personally, I'd save a lot of money and go buy a Craftsman or something. About half the price and work well for most applications. There's not too many times you want a high-speed buffer. Even for the times you do, you can use the low-speed. It just takes a little longer and there's little chance on blowing through the paint.

You are thinking of the rotaries and the flex's. These dual action polishers are very safe to use:
I only have experience with the 7424 and it works. I would only want a craftsman if I was going to be buffing a polish which means I wouldn't waste space on my shelf for one.

That is a nice machine. The pad on my craftsman 10" is almost shot, so maybe I'll get one of them.
Oh, and one thing I did not hear the video mention; the danger of blowing through the paint is not so much on a flat surface, but on an edge or corner. You don't find hard edges too much any more, since cars have more rounded lines.

Check this site out. They have good polisher/pad combos. I went with the PC and Lake Country pads.

My personal fav is the Griots Garage 6" Random Orbital with a 5" backing plate.
The Megs D300 and 5.5" microfiber discs do short work of removing swirls.

I have had the porter cable for several years and use Meguiars Paint Reconditioning Cream with LC Yellow or Orange pads. Get amazing results quickly. My truck is a 2005 and I frequently get compliments on the shine.
