Thanks, it may be worth a try. However, it says it may soften primers, so that may eliminate it, I don't know. I have thought of static electricity. I usually paint on plywood (actually OSB), covered with paper, more recently masking paper instead of newspaper (which isn't "clean" anyway) set on metal sawhorses; or a cart with a plywood top and RUBBER wheels. I have attached a chain to the cart and laid the chain on my concrete floor. I have noticed no difference whether I paint on the sawhorses or the cart. I suppose I should drill a hole in my cement and drive a metal rod in the ground. But, as you say I'm not convinced there is anything to it. I have worked on a wet floor, which doesn't seem to help either. I am not positive it is all dirt or lint, but I still have the problem. I am about done with the stuff that I don't want any defects in, all I have left is some white trim, and miscellaneous parts plus some cast parts, I believe. The buffer works fine, thanks a lot, much easier to control than my big one. I did not like the pads that came with it, and ordered some from another source. They were concave pads, just the opposite of what I think I need. I also have a good 6 inch orbital buffer that I use for the final polish. But, I am thinking of getting the orbital sander version like you have, and put the pads on it. The orbital action does not get the polish as hot, it spreads better and lasts longer, it will fit better into tight places for the final polish, such as between the V shaped braces on the inside of fenders. The rotary (non-orbital) is much better at removing scratches, as you do need heat there. Regardless, I still intend to somehow solve my dirt/lint/defect problem, but not on this tractor, or I'll never get done.
