Anyone recommend one to get? And any tips? Always done it by hand but thinking there must be an easier way with better results!

So im looking for a random orbit one?

yup, over priced for beginners. i dunno why people buy them myself. im sure they have guarantees and all that but you simply cannot justify the price of them compared to something which costs 39 quid and can do exactly the same job.
just be careful on your edges, bonnet edges, door edges, where your badges are, good to mask them out, and avoid door mouldings and you really cant go wrong. just common sense really. if the pannels gettin very hot, throw some water on to cool it down.

explain? panels always get that hot when mopping with cutting compound. cant be avoided other than cool it down with water
You can get the rechargeable cosmo polisher which is the same as the meguiars:

Meguiars costs nearer £100 which gets you an extra battery, bag and meguiars pad.
The cosmo one is fine and probably all a beginner needs. Worth getting some sonus pads to use with it.

Only when you use a rotary at too high speeds. By 'mopping' a panel at high speeds it creates huge variances in paint thickness by trying to cut the paint too fast.
I have cut the worst defects out of paint by using a slow cut tecnique which involves about 1200rpm and the panel only becomes hand hot. This is also perfectly safe on edges. The panel simply does not need to get hot!!

you have all the time in the world i guess though. if im mopping im on a strict timer, get it out the door asap looking good.

That's what I use mine for. Wouldn't dream of using it for anything more although might be useful on swirl marks with scratch x or something like that which you do by hand anyway.
Guess there is nowt in between the Cosmo and a PC, it's one or the other depending what you want to do with it.

Someone on DW is selling something they reckon is as good as the pc but half the price
