Random Orbital
Hey,
I just saw this article on google and was wondering what you thought?
http://www.matey-matey.com/auto-detailing.shtml
seems like some good advice and they recommended an orbital available in the uk @ 230v from Amazon.
What do you think of this?

I think the orbital is. I think it's just a UK version of the other one.

The PC is smaller and therefore better in my opinion, it works out cheaper too even after importing it from the US

We use that as a sander to sand down damage on cars. Wouldnt polish with it.

The throw of the dual action will only be about 5-6mm, whereas on the PC it's more like 25mm. This is important, as longer throw equals lower temps and more safety - no doubt the DeWalt unit would work well, but it's going to require more skill to use safely.
