Electric polisher

[markleigh]

OK... not as interesting as superchargers or ceramic headers but can anyone recommend a good electric polisher under £100.
Or is using one sacrilege?
Thanks

Be careful when using them, seriously, they can strip your paint and mess it up if you put too much pressure on them.

Not sure you will get a good one for £100. Also you will want to practice on a panel before going to your car.
If your in Facebook, check out obsessed garage. Lots of info there on the best products to use.

I know from experience... wasn't paying attention on one car, lifted the pad and realised I'd buffed down to the metal. Rookie error...

Yeah you gotta be stupid gentle with them, they're expensive, it depends what your aim is with it, a good one will set you back a couple hundered.

Also worth asking detailers what they use or recommend and going from there. They've always been happy to help me when I've had cleaning questions.

We are a garage and for our own cars use a company called Ultimate Finish for detailing supplies.
The Mequiars buffer is a good bet and very user friendly often sold bundled with the kit you need.

..and then a couple hundred £ more. I have Rupes Bigfoot and it was well north of £200! (mind you, it's paid for itself more than once!)

Just make sure it's orbital.

Like posted before, detailing world is very good and I buy my stuff from cleanyourcar.com
I have two orbital polishers one normal size and one smaller one (it's a pain changing the heads all the time). To be honest with an random orbital you would have to be be careless to go through paint. However under £100 and you are going to struggle. Both of mine are Vertool motor driven ones (doesn't bog down) and the main one was £190 I think but they are very good, in my view on par with Rupes.

Just had an email with this offer, seems quite reasonable.

Nothing to do with me, just passing the offer on.
