Orbital polishers don't work. they pretty much only work for applying wax not buffing

No sun and its black so its filthy but here you go. the spots are from the damn trees. that craps all over it.

direct sunlight, or flash pictures show the condition better than anything else. notice how the scion on page 4 has some examples of those

Sometimes with buffers you get what you pay for...I bought some cheap one like 9 years ago, lasted a month or two...After that got a 300 dewalt buffer i still use today...
