Which machine polisher?
 
Im looking at getting a machine polisher but have never used one before. Which one would you recommend buying for about £100 max. My car really needs a good detail but i will be practising on my bonnet as looking at getting carbon one soon.

porter cable 7424 should be about your budget, go onto ebay and detailing world to see if you can pick one up

He is a noob elliot, noob and machine polishing dont go well together :p

bullit 20th May 2009 21:24

thats when you buy a few scrap panels. only takes 5 mins to get used to ;)

pcs take forever.

So you think the das 6 is a good one for the money? How does it compare to the megs one?

Well if had the extra money then may stretch to it as looking into doing abit of valeting for a local car site im on as had a few people interested and tell me what good job i do as would mind starting my own business in the future. So would the meg be worth the extra £50 then or not really?

Thought me and you were gonna go into partnership, damn you :(

after many hours of reading on detailing world, i bought a 20 quid random orbital sander from B&Q and with some menzerna pads and 203s polish i got pretty good results, removed nearly all the swirls and only left deeper scratches.

so if you wana try that before you go spending £100+ i say go for it.

don't get me wrong the g220, DAS-6, etc will always be better but they will also always be more expensive. the choice is yours.

Wayne 22nd May 2009 23:36

Pm me jsdvtr i have one for sale if you want one, brand new as well, megs g220. I always use my Makita 9227cb rotary as it so much better;)
