And they have 4 grades of pads for it, https://www.harborfreight.com/search...buffing%20pads, and it's as close as your local HF store. Downside is it's corded, but it works for me........

I have a Harbor Freight unit as well... also figured I'd get laughed out of here, LOL. For the minimal polishing I do, it has worked great. For the hard to get into areas I have a 3" Chicago Pneumatic.
Battery powered would be super nice to not have a hose/cord to deal with. But, as long as these still work, I can't bring myself to spend $ on a new one.

I have 3 or 4 different grades of 3M compound that I use and I believe 1 from Meguiars. I think my pads are all 3M.
