I was kind of set on getting the 4" cordless drill adapter and taking care of the scratches that way but after watching Adam's video I guess the 4" pad will make swirl marks which will need to be taken care of by a proper orbital polisher.
So that got me thinking about getting an machine polisher and I was surprised how affordable some of them are. I've got a budget of about $150 so would the Griot's Garage 6" random orbital polisher be good to go or should I just wait to save up more and get a better machine?
I really only need to take care of a few scratches in one small area and the last thing I want to do is create more problems by creating swirl marks with the drill adapter.
I'd also use this machine to wax my car. Looking forward to saving some time on waxing.
One last thing, will the 7" Adam's pads work on the Griot's 6" polisher? I'd like to keep using the Adam's system of polishes and pads so I just want to make sure they'll fit. I'm assuming they do, the outside diameter of the Adam's pads are 7" and the outside diameter of the Griots pad is 6" so that makes sense, don't want your polishing pad the same size as your base pad.

Hi there-
I posted a question about bug stain and fine scratch removal in the General Discussion forum here: http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/27134-recommendations-for-removing-bug-stain-and-fine-scratches-from-clay-bar/
