my waxer (both of them, air powered and electric) can spin in random orbit of non random orbit.
You should be able to rent one or you can use mine after you finish my boat.

i'm not saying taht i was goign to use a drill, i was using it as a comparison of the way it rotates.

I already have 2 polishers. One is airpowerd and can spin in random orbit mode or switch to a spinngin mode. MY eletrci one does the saem thing. Is the spinngning motion what the tool you posted the link too does??? FYI i've used the electric random orbit to compound before and it worked well.

the buffers look like a grinder with a rubber backing and wool pad the air buffers came out many years ago and were ok for the lacquer days but dont have the grunt for ureathanes and gelcoat i would start with a agressive compound and work to fine you will safe alot of work buffing the sanding scratches then move to finer compounds.

That is the order I am doing mine this week sometime. Puder I will let you know how it turns out. My boat spent to much time on the west coast and the top looks real bad.
