ok, so as i stated in my intro post, i dont have much experience in detailing, but i am wanting to learn...



i picked up an orbital buffer(i think its a craftsman) and i was wondering what kind of polish could i use with it? and is there a certain proceedure to follow?



i didnt want to get one of those heavy duty buffers, becasue i have heard horror stories and i wouldnt feel safe using one as a beginner

I haven't found much use for those Craftsman style buffers to be honest. I recommend a Porter Cable Dual action or a Cyclo. That would be my first thing to purchase.

Not really unless you picked it up and threw it at the car or something. ;) It is really a super easy tool to use and great for beginers and professionals.
 
Mr Danese is right......just to comment on your o.b i have the same one and it good to apply and remove wax that it... a pc can apply, remove,polish/wax/glaze plus remove certain swilrmarks/cobweb effect/marring its versatile tool and as a pro detailer told me it bubba proof
 
the cheap orbitals that I've seen dont allow you to unscrew the pad that came with it and attach a velcro backing plate. This limits you to only using bonnets. This, combined with the less than adequate machinery equates to the job of de-swirling your car not getting done.



As danase said, go for a quality set of pads and a PC.
