There are no cheaper alternatives that have the same effectiveness of the PC. Any other polisher on the market, especially the ones that you control with two hands like a steering wheel are for applying waxes, but not buffing out scratches and swirls.
Well I suppose a Hitachi Rotary Buffer might be cheaper but it takes a lot more skill to operate a rotary buffer over a PC. And since you only plan to use it once a year, which IMO, isn't frequent enough to maintain a high quality finish, maybe you should consider buying one with a friend and sharing it?

I see myself using a buffer once or twice a year. I'd like to hear about an acceptable orbital, 6 inch, hi-lo speed, less expensive alternative to the Porter.
