I think you'd be better off using an orbital buffer or doing it by hand, but that's just me.

I think they just put out a new one for paint. Same thing only bigger.
My thinking though is
A. The sponge 'fingers' have to have a retainer in the center, be it metal or plastic, that would run a risk of damaging the paint if you're not careful.
B. You use it in a 3/8" drill- An electric one would be noisy as hell and really make it an irritating job, or a battery powered one which would probably need to be recharged several times before the job is done.
Paul, is your paint already so bad that power tools are necessary?
