the PC is safe to use, even for beginners.. the rotary is recommended for the more experienced.
If you finish is new, and in pretty good shape, you can maintain it without the use of a machine if you use very good washing and drying techniques.
If you plan to become very involved with the car of your vehicle's finish .. then I would recommend reading up on the benefits of a PC, ad the grabbing one for using on your fellt.

PC = Porter Cable

this was a vid i found on youtube....it is a meguires class...it explains and shows what a da and what a rotary can and cant do....at about 6:45 into video he will get out the da...i know the video is about wetsanding...but he used 3000 grit sandpaper...3000 grit paper is about what most swirl marks are or even larger, swirl marks are just fewer and farther between than wetsanding but the same size.
