Hey all,
So in my continuing quest to be cheap I have decided to forgo buying a PC and instead I am looking for alternative way to remove the swirls on my MINI. I have noticed that one of the unifying factors on most consumer level buffers available is that they are dual action, both rotating and orbiting. While I was at work today I had a bit of an Ah-Ha moment; I have a
sander that does exactly the same thing.
At this point you might think "he want to sand his car", hardly the case. This is a DeWalt random orbital sander that uses 5in pads that attach via a hook and loop style backing plate. It's basically an older version of this, and even then I think mine operates in a lower RPM range.

My understanding is that the PC buffer is actually a re-purposed sander, so what is the potential harm in using a slightly different model?
