BTW, don't be afraid of the random orbitals. Unless you fall asleep leaning on one spot on your finish, burning your paint is pretty darn unlikely. Make sure you choose an appropriate degree of 'grittiness' for the polish. (Start fine and work up to polishes with more bite, if needed, to remove swirls, etc.)

Can't tell you much about the Griot's unit, though I definitely haven't heard anything bad about it. I got the Porter Cable and am happy with it.

I was quite afraid of using an orbital on my paint too, but as long as you dont go absolutely crazy, you cant do any damage. Take your time and do the research to find out which products ect. to use, and you will be fine. I used the porter cable with Zaino products without any experience (or skill for that matter) and was very happy. Just keep in mind that anything you screw up with the PC can be fixed by a pro.
