question, i have a 10" orbital that i found lying around in my garage. are these machines okay? i've used it twice already since i posted this thread. didn't seem that bad (but what do I know...?). Are there any sites you can refer me to that can show me how to properly detail my car (step by step)? What products to use and in what sequence?

thank you.
That 10" probably has no real choices of backing plates, and foam pads for it but it is probably ok for wax application and removal. If you want to remove swirls and scratches however I'd look for a better product. 10" is too large for polishing, IMO.

Some good sites I'd recommend are:

Autopia (excellent detailing forum)
Guide to Detailing - Autopia Car Detailing Forum
Car Care Products: Car Waxes to Leather Cleaners, Meguiar's the Leader in Car and Surface Care since 1901 (some videos available there)
Meguiar's Online (excellent detailing forum)
We Are Car Care ! Car Wax - Car Polish - Auto Detailing Supplies & Car Accessories (some videos available there)
