Was looking at buying a car polisher for my old car to shine it up a little. Came across this...seems like a good deal.
Maybe not the best for high end cars but midrange should do the job.
If anyone has or used one please feel free to give some feedback!!

Not entirely sure. However I have read some reviews on car forums piston head etc and good reviews for newbies like me. Not for the pro

This will be very under powered. OK for polishing after wax application I guess.
No point to use this with polishing pastes. Better just to attach polishing pad to electric drill if on the budget.

I started out with one of these years back, they are ok for applying/buffing polish and wax and the bonnets are usually cheap to buy. Just don't expect to get swirls and scratches out with one of these.

lol tried it over the weekend...shakes like hell?? so stopped after 5 mins on a small panel.. My cousin managed to do the full car with it successfully car is shining....although a closer look i feel more scratches have been revealed. He applied polish directly onto the car, waited then onto the polisher.
Not sure if it was done correctly just followed a YouTube clip.

I hope these increase in value over time as I got an rac branded one about ten years ago and it's still currently in my shed unused!
