Using orbital sander for polishing?

[gmaz]

I usually hand-polish my car after a wash, with Autoglym super resin, but I was wondering if there is any good reason not to use an orbital sander and I picked up a cheap parkside unit from Lidl, the one below, but I paid £25.

And ordered polishing pads

Will this work OK? Any tips to ensure a decent job?

Even the low speed is far to fast for polishing. You'll end up burning your paint.

Yeah, low speed is 3000, which seems to be at the high end for a polisher. I guess I'll have to try it on the wife's car first.
