I picked up a random orbit car buffer for my last green cab project. It had a little more surface area than you are dealing with however.
Look'n good.
Timoe:

Where did you get the car buffer and about how much?

Ryobi. Home Depot. $30. It definitely does the job.

I got the same, current price is $25.

Thanks Timoe, too bad I am going to have to redo it. While doing some hand polishing on the box I rubbed to hard on an edge. I took off all the lacquerer and paint down to the primer. :cry: I probably should have waited until the weekend to do the polish on the box.
One thing I learned while using the hand drill, don't let the buffer get too dry. If you do you can easily take off too much. I took of the lacquerer on one side because of this. Follow up with hand polishing to clean off the rubbing compound and to deal with tough spots like corners.
