I used to have a Sears Craftsman orbital polisher.  I recently purchased a 
new Porter-Cable orbital polisher from Griot's Garage.  This is a much better 
machine.  It keeps the surface cool - not hot.  It uses foam pads instead of 
wool or cotton.  The foam pads are far superior.  This will remove swirl 
marks and is quite effective when used correctly.
