i was on griots (griotsgarage.com) and noticed they have a new orbital buffer thatis garanteed not to burn through your paint, like a conventional buffer. i guess it's partly due to being able to keep the pad cool, but you just have to read for yourself. the whole kit is 199.99 but i think'd it'd be worth it. i really love buffers and their work and it'd be very nice to not have to worry about burning through any paint on the corners.
