Sounds like the orbital machine is the way to go. I definately can see the potential for damage if something were to get on the pad and then scratch or grind itself into the car's paint.

I know from an unfortunate experience, however, that a small contaminant can also find its way into a manual pad or rag and then scratch the paint from waxing by hand.

You can't be too careful, as I found out.

Do all the orbital machines really totally prevent the paint burn or swirls that the circular polishers can cause?
