Some are air powered and some are electric. They take a high level of skill to use. Just letting it spin and rubbing it will probably destroy your paint. Depeneding on the type of paint you are working and what you are trying to do determines how much pressure you will use and how high you run the RPMs. Running them too high on clear coat paint or too much pressure will definately make swirl marks and possibly burn your paint. If you havent worked a rotary before, and orbital buffer is the way to go. If you need compounding that an orbital cannot accomplish, then by all means learn about working a rotary first or get someone with experience to do it. It is one the best but at the same time the most dangerous detailing tool. Only a rotary buffer can make swiril marks and only a rotary buffer can remove them.
