Absolutely! It's all I use. No hand rubbing for me. I use the Porter Cable 7424 Orbital Polisher.
Been pretty happy with the Menzerna line of polish. However, I'm going to try Glare next. (I've used Zaino, Tech, etc.)
I have a 2007 Z51 Corvette that I use this buffer on all the time, I have no swirl marks after I'm done. This process actually gets the swirl marks out. Don't rub your machine with anything but Micro Fiber and then only after you wipe it across a blank CD and see if it scratches it.
Take a blank CD with the rags you usually use and wipe it...
If you use this on your bike, and I highly recommend it, just don't lift or start the buffer if it is not on the surface (you'll sling product).
Cover your engine with a peice of plastic until you get good at it.
