Years ago friends were planning a party, I brought beer,ice and two 50 gallon coolers.
Early evening I stopped by the party place to see if things were ok.
Two ladies were very upset and looking at their cars parked side by side.
A stranger offered to shine their cars up with an orbital sander.
They went back indoors to resume party prep.
They both paid the guy before inspecting the cars.
Both cars had deep gouges in the paint.

I asked if they saw a sample of his work or why they allowed the second car to be ruined ?
Having been an auto body repairman I know to not trust just any old idiot for auto body work .. Heck, don't trust me unless you want to pay too much for mediocre work.. lol
I can lay down a nice paint job though if the prep work has been done properly.

Not exactly the right tool for the job..Use a buffing bonnet and the right compound, but a ROS? NOOOOO....just a plain variable speed grinder with the bonnet works.. The very word 'sander' is all you need to know about this.
