    IF your going to be doing a wet sand/polish get the 6" sander/polisher. I have performed many cut/buffs with mine, very similar to that one pictured.
    If you can, get yourself a dual speed or variable speed, it is nice to have a selection of speeds when compounding and/or polishing.
    With the 6" one, it is nice because you can put a cutting wheel on it too and cut stuff up, very handy.
    I have never used the 10" style for anything, dont even have one.

    If you are new to buffing and polishing, make yourself a test sample first and practice, it is nicer to not worry about "F"ing somting up that
    you have alot of work into. "BEEN THERE,DONE THAT"
