Detailers>>orbital vs rotary
Evening all, Have a 2007 fifth wheel that I am trying to get to sparkle. From everything I have read on detailing page, a orbital buffer polisher does not "cut" into the clear coat enough to remove...

That's a good description.
FWIW, if you aren't used to using one of these then go for the orbital. It will do the job (though not as fast as a direct drive and a pro) but wont hurt anything. Just don't apply too much pressure or lean on it. Go back and forth and then do the same up and down. Go slow progressing about an inch a second.
There are some great how-to videos on Youtube.
