Would this be a good buy?
Saw this on amazon earlier today and was wondering if i applied my polish to my car using my hands and then polished it off using this with the soft polishing attachment on would it do a better job than me by hand?

These are defiantly worth the buy tbh, they give a pretty good finish.

That's just a basic rotary polisher. I have that one it's very powerful but pretty awkward for a beginner as it's heavy.
You would be better of getting a DAS with a few mezerna polishes/pads.

Never machine polished before? Dont just go for it get some little tips first as you will be pealing paint off of panel contours and all sorts!
