That's a good price, but I doubt it will be as good as a PC...

That is a rotory polisher also known as a circular polisher. In the wrong hands that can damage your paint. In the right hands it can also do a WAY better job than a PC.

11 amps should be alot of power. but yeah, you need the speed. My cicular unit runs at about 1500 rpm. Which is well within the Optimium Polish recommended specs for usage.

I tried to use some Mequires polish I had laying around. That stuff goes "poof" right away. I think it's meant for a speed around 1,000.

If this thing runs at 2,000-3,000 rpm forget it. Way too fast.
