polisher

[Andy-Lee]

allreet, was in halfords 2day and saw this electric polisher, wasnt sure weather 2 buy it as i wudnt know the first on how you are supposed 2 use them, do you think it would be a worthwhile buy or should a start small?
i currently just use a wool sponge drying towel turtle wax and microfibre cloth! it cums up nice and shiney but has some light swirl marks.
please advise......?
cheers

it wont take any swirls out mate, they dont spin fast enough

all there good for is buffing

Sorry to hijack this thread but you say there just good for buffing PRED??

So if i bought one it would be ok to buff off the polish/wax and wud it give any better results, jst can imagine it being a little hard round bumpers and stuff lol

well it takes the effort out of hand buffing, for the awkward bits you'd do it by hand, in theory you will get the same results to hand buffing, just there for lazy people :p

kk cheers peeps so what would you recomend for the swril marks then? + would you recomend a klay bar been worth the money on a black car and would there be noticeable results?

You need a power poilisher for the job and the compounds, i.E G3 etc

[Predator_R32]

as said for swirl marks get a megs polisher or porter cable/ultimate detailing machine polisher

doing it by hand will simply not get rid of them, you need to kind of get the paint really hot, and you cant do it by hand thats why the polisher does a great job :y:
