Random Orbital Polisher from Pepboys
I was in pepboys the other day, and they are selling a random orbital polisher. I don't remember the exact price, but it was much less than the porter cable.
Has anyone seen this and have any reviews of it?

My friend bought a cheap pepboys one, he ended up selling it (giving it away) and buying a porter cable after 2 uses. He said they were good for applying waxes... but sucks if you want to actually have it polish.
Its been a very long time since I used them but I'm sure there floating around the shop somewhere...

The lowes one is 7336 so only comes with sanding disc. 7472 comes with a pad, but I don't think most people even use that one much. You can buy pads elsewhere along with backing plate.

as well, they tend to "gum up" and make it messy after a few panels.. and they also tend to use a lot more product as its applicators are of cheap quality and absorb too much instead of expend
