It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If your car has alot of scratches/swirl marks, the simoniz won't do the job. If you simply want to place wax on the car and remove it, the simoniz will do it. This weekend I detailed my wife's car and I went through 5 steps. 1. High Speed with Compound (removes scratches), 2. Glaze (removes swirls), 3. Swirl remover (removes stubborn swirls), 4. Wax, and finally, 5. Final Inspection (wax remover/extra gloss). 6 hours later...she's beautiful.

A random orbital is also called by many in the detailing world, a jitter bug. It basically only vibrates, really not working polish, but it can apply wax. For the weekend warrior detailer, you will want to look into 5 items, all of which are Dual action polishers. The Ultimate Detail Machine, The Porter Cable D/A Line (7424,7336,or the meguiars g100), The new meguiars buffer, The FLEX Buffer, or the Griot's Garage buffer.

I have the Meguiars G100 buffer, and absolutely love it. It removes a great amount of swirls, but it wont remove all defects (for those you need to get a rotary.) Im working on my coupe right now and am using Meguiars #83 polish then topped with Meguiars #26 Wax and its coming out great!

I'm STILL abit afraid of using anything mechanical being as I've always applied my wax by hand, but I have been looking into the above mentioned.... Meguiars is coming out with a brand new machine in the next few weeks, and 2 weekends ago I was at the Griot's open house where I was handling and watching them use their own porter cable/Ultimate Detail Machine.

I'll get one eventually !! Hell I've got about $400-$500. in wax products in my garage !

The porter cable is a great beginner's tool. It's basically impossible to burn the paint with it, but you can achieve an awesome finish. I use a DeWalt (high speed) for stubborn scratches and rock chips, but I like the porter cable 7336 to apply glazes. The DeWalt has bristle attachments that clean carpets better than any extractor/shampooer you can find. I never leave home without it!

I think it is worth noting that a nice slick finish really only needs the glaze and wax. Don't go compounding your four-year-old, garage kept car.

You are right, but the car actually was filled with water spots. As far as garage kept....only when the Legend has left the garage (despite having a two car garage). Yeah, mean I know, but my legend needs her extra space.

GrumpySteelMan

Absolutely, I just don't want people with really nice paint rubbing compound all over it needlessly.

I agree with KEYZER SOZE. I uses a DeWalt myself, and my car had always looked sweet everytime.
