Looks good and the price is mint,
I was saving for a G220 but i am going to try one of these instead

That looks rather tempting tbh... will hold out for some reviews first. :)

Cant see it being more unreliable than the G220 tbh,
A couple of people on detailing world have ordered them so we should have some reviews in a few days

[Peasnall]

good find, carnt wait for the reviews

[-Dan-]

Same, looks like a good investment, keen to see the reviews.

[Krys_23]

Might invest in one of these // +1

I'll see how the reviews go, i've already got two pc's so don't really need another one:p plus i have my rotary:hug:

[kcsaxo]

exterior looks a little on the cheap side BUT i will wait for the reviews, plus im hoping the build quality isnt as cheap as the selling price. that new chicago rotary sounds mighty tempting too, but again for that price i might aswell go for the makita :)

Can't see it being better than a G220 ... You never know though.

TBH i'm sure its not going to be shit,
If the G220 was made by a different company it would be way cheaper its just the name that you pay for and the MK1 versions was mighty unreliable so i could see it being as good

[rowza]

Now that is Tempting

[Krys_23]

By the time cyc are taking in bulks of these they are hardly going to be shit at the end of the day and capable of a descent paint correction.

[Peasnall]

according to DW seems as good as the PC and G220

[Jimmy-Boy]

lol i might get one of them then :P

[grant_evans]

been thinking about getting a polisher for a while, pretty sure im gonna go for one of these but gonna wait too see how others get on

[Ferg]

I stand corrected! That link makes for very interesting reading ... If anyone gets one of these can you PM me with the details of how it was. I'm looking to get a G220 very soon ... and If I can save £60+ that is pretty damn good.

wow didnt realise that the g220 had problems, may have to hold out on one and go for the kestrel if longevity doesnt prove an issue for it.

Definatly going to get one of these was planning to get a 220 but as these seem as good and much cheaper may as well go for this..

Could some one recommend me some products to buy with it as im a noob with machine polishing got a spare panel to practise on, its for a black car needs some swirls and light scratches removing.

Cheers

Any reviews out on this polisher yet?

You might as well buy the Kestral it will have a year warranty with it so if it does pack up it will be just like the G220:p
