What do you guys think about this?

I got a DeWalt "Heavy-Duty 6" Right Angle Random Orbit Sander With Electronic Variable Speed"

I am going to use it like a Portal Cable. I traded it in for my GEM 16lbs Orbital Buffer. How do you guys think this will work to POLISH cars? Also what speed setting would be best for polishing?

What do you guys think about it. Should I keep it or get the PC?

Ive never messed with those, so I cant really comment on it.

DeWalt makes great tools! The buffer should work fine. The only thing I don`t like about the 443, is that it lacks the slower speeds for applying waxes/sealants. However, for polishes/cleaners it should be excellent. I would try it near it`s middle settings for the polishes first.

Don`t know anything about that one. I know someone who has the DW 849 RO and loves it. DW makes quality, long lasting tools.

Thanks guys. I have a High Speed Buffer from DeWalt and love it. I have had no problems at all with it. Its lowest speed is 4000rpm. Is that to fast for polishing, with 3M or Poorboys? Thats mainly what this would be for. I am also going to try to do dry sanding with it.

I have been using my DeWalt r.o. sander as a polisher for several months now and I am absolutely sold on it love the velcro pad. If it was destroyed or stolen I would have another asap. I use the slowest speed for applying finish and when I get back to where I started I switch pads and turn it up and geta great shine

Yeah I love it. Here is a post about a car I detailed today with it, the car turned out great.
