Meguiars makes a drill attachment that is actually Dual Action. It uses gearing to convert single axis power into DA.

You have quite the garage going there, and a good list of car care items. I was keeping up with a family and 3 cars, so my extra detail time was never quite abundant over the last few years. I previously had an arsenal of products like you, but narrowed it down to 3 to simplify and ease my busy life. I really liked the Nu Finish Liquid Polish and then gravitated to the wash last to cover was the plastic, rubber, and leather protectant. I had a couple different products, but the NuVinyl did all, including leather, that armor-all (basic) does not. As mentioned, I just had to simplify for many reasons and this worked for me. It may not be the professional kit of choice, but 3 products help keep my 3 cars in great shape.
And as far as applying compounds, polishes, or waxes, I spent years doing it by hand until I gave Meguiar's DA Power System a shot. Costs more then by hand (initially), but it goes quicker and produces a better product. This is the only product I tried, I am sure there are plenty of other options out there. Good luck cleaning!

Turns your drill into a DA and comes with a pad. I've heard from two people that used it and really liked it.
I agree but man even my cheapo corded da polisher outlasts me on a day’s work. I just throw the cord over my shoulder and it keeps on kicking. I think you’d almost be better off getting a really long extension cord or even a cheaper generator. If you’re in range to charge the batteries while you’re using the other one, you’re in range for an extension cord. You could always do something like the meguiars DA attachment for drills and just use a cordless one. It’s a direct drive system for like $80 maybe?
Edit: Meg’s power system
Is there a larger alternative to this? https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G3500-Action-Power-System/dp/B009OBVRY4
I like it, but is rather slow to get through the whole car because it is small.
Has anyone tried Meguiar's DA Power System Polisher?
It attaches to the drill, says its dual action. Has anyone tried it? Its $70 at my local Canadian tire and I was thinking it would be a cheaper alternative to the $200 Power Cable DA Polisher.
I'm not a professional, I'm only doing my car.
It's a single speed. That's not a good sign. For under $50, I'd rather you use something like this, assuming you already have a drill.
Meguire's makes a DA attachment for a drill, https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G3500-Action-Power-System/dp/B009OBVRY4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=meguires+da&qid=1569435857&sr=8-1
Would this be a bad alternative?

I have a corded TorQ DA so I do not want to shell out the $250 for the milwaukee.
I have a few small scratches and many swirl marks on my instrument cluster cover (Jeep Grand Cherokee). I have tried to buff them out by hand, which helped with the big scratches, but not the swirl marks. I know the DA Power System Tool attachment isn't popular around here, but it fits my budget well, and I think it would work well for removing those swirls. What do you guys think of that tool, with PlastX, to clean up the instrument cluster?

Thanks guys!
Hey Larry, love your videos.
Two questions:
is there any way to polish without the a polishing tool. If i had to I was about to get the Meguiar's G3500 in order to polish it.
EDIT: my dad said he did wet sand it. But what do you mean by compound, like clay?
i was planning on this
