Default i know i should go to the detailing forum...but does anyone have any experience with polishers???

i want to buy a high-speed polisher for sanding/polishing/waxing purposes. I know they have some good Porter/ DeWalt/ etc. models but they are much more expensive than the ones made by "Chicago", "Pro", and "American Tool". Does anyone have any experience with these polishers?? Anything i should look out for??

Btw...below is a link where you can see the "cheap" polishers. What's the difference between the Chicago 7" ANGLE POLISHER and the Chicago 7" VARIABLE SPEED POLISHER/SANDER?<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Category.taf?categoryid=105&amp;pricetype=S&amp;ca tegoryname=POWER%20TOOL%20POLISHERS">http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Category.taf?categoryid=105&amp;pricetype=S&amp;ca tegoryname=POWER%20T

Default Your better off(Safer) with a Random Orbital Polisher than those High Speed Models

If your not experienced in using those High speed models, chances are good that you'll "Burn" the paint of your car
