As far as I know those B&D ones have no speed control and uses cloth bonnet. Bosch ones uses Velcro so can just snap on and off the polishing pads. Or you can buy B&D one then modify Velcro on it.

Just to warn you is not a cheap hobby. Polishing pads like LC (Lake Country) pads cost like RM45 those days when I bought them some time back. Polishing pads you may need 2 or 3 as when you polish the pads becomes dirty and clogged, need to wash then and dry then snap on another to continue polishing....:driver:

Bro, believe me - if you're really interested in polishing and stuff, don't skimp on the hardware. I regret buying my ROB, it doesn't have the power of a full on Makita polisher or whatever brands you're into.

Save up and buy a proper Makita / Bigfoot / Bosch polisher (RM900 and above) and you'll never need to upgrade your hardware.

And like what veteran VR2Turbo said - this isn't a cheap hobby

You asking him jump in the sea and not the lake.....hhahhaha
Yup, if jump into the sea, get Rotary polisher, but to me rotary more for correction. For my normal detailing like polish and wax I still use my Bosch orbital. Lighter and easier to handle, and not dangerous.
Rotary also need practice. Too fast, run too hot, burn your paint then kaput.....lol

Wah! Bigfoot I think cost more than rotary......:driver:

lol dude at least your Bosch BOD is better than my B&D BOD. Although its modified to Velcro backing, it still lacks the speed to cut. It does the job on cleaning or polishing the paint but it doesn't break down the polish compound good enuf and its a hell of a job to buff.

ROB or Random Orbital spins and moves in circular motion to act like human hand polishing in circular motion. Rotary spins on a center point at high speed that is why have to be very careful if using this machine. Have to move it around and not polish same spot too long as it will burn that spot.
