Question What's the best value machine polisher?

Hi guys and gals.. I'm pretty new here. But I was just wondering what would be a good value machine polisher?

In other words, cheap(ish) but works well.. Any recommendations/experience with budget polishers?

Or will just about anyone do the same job?


Seen a couple of cheap ones in halfords and was tempted, but thought i'd do some homework on them first.


Thanks in advance..

Gaz.

This one gets good reviews. http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4645777
Handy is you have shopping vouchers too as most can be used in Argos.

Hi Gaz,

I'm a newbie on here but quite established on the Detailing World forum.

+1 for the Argos machine.

With some additional backing plates and pads it's perfectly capable.

Something like this:

with these:

and some polish - maybe this - it's an excellent "one step" polish:

Have a watch of this:

Looking forward to hearing how you get on.

Happy to help!

Andy.

Looks like a decent machine, don't buy the halfrauds ones with the the two handles like ears..

Make sure you use plenty of water about so you don't burn the paint..
