Hello, well firstly to tell you the truth, thats actually the same random orbital sander my BF used, and i think thats what they call the Unano for some reason i don't know why, but even if we use it and its given us great results, i won't recommend it, why? because it lacks the power to do the corrections and it jumps a lot, we had to bring it to raon and have a friend of ours change the motor inside to a motor that has a lower frequency and a higher voltage with the same wattage, the price is pretty much the same here yours cheaper by just a few hundreds, 5.5 to 6.5 inch pads are what we use with it, so bottom line if you're game to have the motor replaced and risk voiding the warranty then its a good tool for polishing and removing light swirls but only up to that ok, but if you're gonna use it stock, its still good for waxing and applying products but not working them, see if you use it stock, if you're at the store and you want to test it, try to turn it on and put it against your hand with a little pressure don't worry it won't hurt you, about 5 to 10lb pressure, you'll be surprised it will stop spinning, it will oscillate but you won't get any rotation, and rotation is one of the key actions to correct paint, and one other thing even when we've already changed the motor, we still had to turn it up to 4 to 5 just to be able to correct light swirls and again its still very much limited in terms of correction, but for waxing jobs its a damn good workhorse and it doesn't bog down and heat up too fast.

You should have waited for a detail seminar to buy those microtex products, we usually get granted 10% discount on their items hehe

As for the products you've bought, you only need one more item which is a decent polish like Mothers Power Polish, SwirlX or ScratchX and you're good to go, you can already go and tackle some serious defects with that line up.
