Who all makes cordless orbital waxing/polishing wheels?

i have had a few different 10" orbital polishers/waxers/whatever. they are really nice and fast for removing wax, but the cords are a PITA...especially if i go to someone's house to do their vehicle. extension cords like crazy. So, i've been looking at cordless ones. i've only been able to find one i like and that is the craftsman 7". i really want a 10", but does anybody make one in a 10"?? i want one where the handles are straight over the top like the craftsman model. i don't want the ones than look like a real buffer. wondering if anybody has had experience with them at all? thanks

I am looking for one too. Actually, more of a sander. I found this one that is a sander/polisher/etc'er but it is a 4" ... since I haven't used one of these before I have have no idea how bad 4" would be... but I will probably get this one to help prep my car for getting it painted..

Porter Cable model 7336 is the best orbital you can buy but it does have a cord, all the ones with the proper power will be 110 volt. Just put the cord over your shoulder and it will never get near the painted surface.

i just need a wax remover type orbital..not a true buffer. i think i'll have to go with the craftsman. the 7" will fit into the smaller places i guess.
