Need Suggestions

I need some help, do people like using the 7424 orbital better than the 7336 rotary? I've been reading alot about the 7424 and it seems more people use this than the rotary. Does the 7424 produce better results than the rotary? I am looking to buy either, because my detail man just quit because of school, and he took his buffer with him. Now I'm gonna have to do a lot of the detail work on my own I have a couple of cars coming in before NOPI that have minor scratches, bad paint fogging on a black supra, and some that just need the paint refreshed. What would you recommend the 7424 or 7336, what type of pads do I need, and what type of product should I use? I have some stuff made by a local detail supplier called Southern Detail Suppliers own brand called Super Glaze some gray stuff, says it removes oxidation and scratches, it's most likely some sort of AutoMagic product. I got it to try it out when we had the rotary.

What does everyone reccomend.

I thought the 7424 and 7336 were one in the same, a variable speed orbital, I may be wrong but I don't think so. The 7424 has the counter weight and then the 7336 came out after that with no counter weight requirement. I'd go with the 7336 over the 7424 given the choice. Neither is a rotary such as DeWault and Makita offer and if you're just getting into using a polisher, I'd suggest starting out with an orbital. I'm not sure about that product line you mention.
 
Here - check out this link. They are the same tool with a slightly different setup. If you are new to detailing, do not fool around with a rotary until you have mastered the random orbital.

Ok, well I'm looking to invest in either one, can't do both right now, but I would rather go ahead and get the rotary and learn. I feel very confident that I am capable of mastering a rotary, first time I ever used it, was on a buddy of mines scratched up 98 black 240, and I had no problems with it. I have my whole car to test it on, 95 Burgandy Nissan, We are having it repainted in a month anyways. So I would rather buy once than twice. Will the Orbital give me any better results than the Rotary? I have used the rotary on a ocuple of cars before, and no problems, so I am familiar with it. Anyone have any reccomendations on a rotary? Good quality good price?
