Here's what you need:
Flex XC 3401 VRG orbital polisher
Strong as a bull! A real all around machine. I've had it for 1,5 years now and works great!

beer and detailing with high speed tools probably does not go hand in hand!

Be careful with those lambswool pads, they are more abrasive than foam pads. And my guess is that your friend's polisher is a rotary...?
If so, I truly hope you have used one before
