but this also isnt random orbit, and quite frankly i dont feel good about using something that isnt random orbit.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, you must make that decision. I would only offer my opinion to save your money and purchase a PC with backing plate and pads. I believe that in the long run you will come out cheaper than by spending money on a machine that will disappoint and will be replaced. Until then do the best work you can by hand.

	Lake Country Pads Lake Country buffing pads is at the top of their game! If you know anything about foam polishing pads, you’re no doubt familiar with this company. They’ve been designing and manufacturing polisher accessories since 1977 and we’d be willing to bet they know a thing or two about car care. In fact, we’re so confident in their expertise, Max enlisted their help to design pads for Palm Beach Motoring Accessories.

If I were going to use the orbital machine you received as a gift for wax application, I would use a terry cloth bonnet for application. You can use any liquid wax, off-the-shelf or special order. It doesn't appear that you expect much in the way of defect correction out of it, so I'd say use the polisher. I used one similar to that for a few years before I was able to step up and get something like a PC. You gotta use what you got, and since you have that go ahead and use it.

Contrary to popular detailing forum belief, not everyone can start out fresh using PC, Flex, Pinnacle or Zaino stuff. You can achieve excellent results using stuff OTC. Not saying it's the best stuff out there, but use what you already have until you can step up and get something else.

	Flex Polishers FLEX makes both dual action and circular (rotary) polishers. Their polishers are built to professional standards with features like rugged housing, variable speed triggers, controlled acceleration, overload protection, temperature monitoring, and auto shut-off carbon brushes. Whether you choose a dual action or a circular polisher, you will enjoy years of hassle-free use with your FLEX polisher.

	Pinnacle Natural Brilliance Pinnacle Natural Brilliance is a collection of world class car care products, including our benchmark car wax, Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba Paste Wax.

you have the wrong piece of equipment for what you need. you need a good speed buffer, some good cutting compounds and a lot of time on your hands. they when you have all the scratches removed, you then can use your Christmas present with some polish to remove the swirls ,, left from the speed buffer
