What is a good DA to use?
#2
I used a Porter Cable 7336 for about 8 or 9 years. It finally started acting up, so I just replaced it with a 7424. There are others such as the Flex that are gaining popularity, but I couldn't see dumping $300 on one.

Griot's Professional Random Orbital. It's a DA but labeled wrong to appeal to DIYers. More powerful than the PC7424XP and Meguiar's G110v2, and comes with a lifetime warranty. All three machines listed are made in China crap that absolutely will break, so the warranty alone is worth it let alone the extra power.

But i made a 13 year old paint job look soarkling new after about 30 minutes, 10 minutes of which was masking off some areas. Just found out that my local advance auto parts store carres Griots products (only place in town) so ill be broke this next coming check lol

I'd recommend going with a well known and widely available manufacturer like Lake Country or Meguiar's.
Lake Country has about all the foam pads you'd potentially need while Meg's has some of the top regarded microfiber pads (like used in their DA microfiber polishing kits).

As Marc said, I too would highly recommend Lake Country foam pads. I personally like to use the 5.5" pads as they provide me much better control and polishing ability compared to larger pads as they don't put as much stress on the weak orbital machines, such as the Porter Cable or Griots. You'll need to purchase the right size backing plate if you decide to go with the 5.5" pads and my favorite has been the Meguiar's W67DA 5" backing plate.
Hope that gets you started, but if you have any more questions (polishes, etc.) I'd be more than happy to help!
