Question What pads to use on an orbital polisher when waxing a motorhome?

[Bob K4TAX]

I would NEVER use an orbital buffer. It will make circular patterns. Having owned several nice black cars, rubbing only in one direction will never leave streaks and swirls. Of course, that means hand polishing. I washed and waxed our 38 ft houseboat by hand, every year. It took about a day and a case of beer.

Dual action is the answer. It does random patterns like a hand does.
