Rachel,
What kind of motion did the Milwaukee have? Random Orbit? Was
burning much
of a risk that you could tell?
I believe it was just a straight spin. When I did the Monty, I really
pressed and never had any signs of burn. On the Westsail, which was
owned by a friend of mine (also white gelcoat), he did the power
buffing (thank g-d) and at times he was buffing hard enough to actually
slow the machine down a bit (of course he let up right away) and still
no problems. As long as you "get" how to control the spin (have you
ever used one of those janitorial floor buffers - now there's some
hysterical laughter the first time) it's fine.
I should see if I can find a link to one online, so we know we're
talking about the same thing. I think they're pretty common at rental
places, then I bought a 3M buffing pad/wheel. It's a lamb's-fleecy
looking thing with a nut impregnated in the center which goes over the
spindle on the buffer. One's good for a whole boat.
I'd be happy to get more specific on products etc. if anyone's actually
going for it. I could do a little online research - or perhaps find
some of the things in the WM catalog for reference.

:-) Yeah, I fell for one of those too.
