Default Polisher

I've got a PC 7424 for buffing now I need a nice rotary polisher. What's a good choice for a rotary polisher?

I also need small die grinder that could perhaps accept polishing wheels also for polishing metals more than painted surfaces. What are my options?

Lastly, whats good to use on ceramic coating to polish it up?

Thx.

I use a Milwaukee 5540 to polish. Makes short work of just about everything.

I have a Makita 9227C. Great buffer if you are looking for a rotary. It's lighter then the dewalt, quieter and the speed control is better. I got brand new off ebay from a company shipped to my door for 180.
