As said my girlfriend just bought me one of these for Christmas, now i know they're no DA but will i be able to get away with applying just a polish with this or is it only good for buffing off polishes and waxes applied by hand?? it came with 2 bonnets (one toweling and one finishing) the polish i would be using would be either SRP or Poorboys black hole
Cheers

ive got a cheaper version of that and ther usless tbh, you get a good finish ( i used it after repsraying my bros front bumper) to give it a polish shine but wouldnt recomend for full car, vibrates your hands to peices aswell lol

Not very good tbh, be far better with a Megs G220 or a Kestral DA with a polishing pad and AG SRP:y: get more impressive results also:)

I know, i said i no its no DA or anything like that but it was a present. Was just asking could i use a polish with this type of polisher or not, as the results have got to be slightly better than hand.

if its got no polishing pads then its a waste of time im affraid. i dont know what it means by toweling but to buff off as said is easier by hand.

either try it or get a refund. ive seen cheap stuff in action before though and they were wank to say the least

hope that helps lol

ive got one and only use it for taking off the polish (or buffing but not both dont ask lol) and its ok just lol and a tad faster than by hand
