Porter Cable 7424 random orbital. Don't consider anything other than a random orbital if you are not an experienced user.
You can do a lot of damage with a rotary buffer if you're not experienced. I have even seen professionals make mistakes with rotary buffers (holograms in black paint for instance)
With a random orbital, the only way you're going to damage the paint is if you drop the unit on it!

But to get a real shine or to color sand and polish you must have a rotary buffer. I use a BD variable speed rotary when I need to actually buff something. Random orbitals are just just for removing waxes and glazes you really cannot do any real cutting or polishing with them. I find using good old elbow grease for waxing and glazes works just fine for me. If you want a flat wet looking paint all the time, nothing will give you the results like a rotary with an old fashion lambs wool pad. Here is what a 2000 wet sand and several passes with a rotary can achieve.
