Machine Polisher's

Post by JamesT0708 »

Bought this the other day, cheap but cheerful, but did an amazing job. I was really surprised with the results.

Anyway, I thought being as one this cheap can do such a brilliant job, I wonder what a more expensive one could do. I'm looking into getting one of the bigger rotary polishers, maybe a DA one. Has anyone got any suggestions, or any opinions based on what they have? Really worth the investment whatever you get, does a great job.

both DA and Rotary are pretty much the same mate

I have used and got for my own car :

Dodo Juice DAS-6 (Buff Daddy)
Flex PE 14-1 180 rotary

Both give a glossy deep shine to even light colour cars (silver and white)

also the polishes wax ect will make a difference in the depth of shine when using a machine polisher i.e if you use smart price or a cheap demon shine polish it will only give you a surface shine if you buy poorboys / Autobrite / chemical guys ect you will get a really glossy deep shine 8)

No mate, I did have a quick look at that one and it looked a bit s**t haha. I got this one from argos for £24.99, could have got it on ebay for £17.99 new but I couldn't be arsed to wait as per usual haha. Worth it though mate. It's jist called a Challenge Car Polisher on the website and catalogue if you're interested

Might get tickets for pvs, sounds like a laugh and the scene sounds amazing. Yeah it's worth it mate, they're great. Halford's have a 3 for 2 deal on atm too so you can get everything you need cheaper

Yeah that's what I was looking at, but didn't know if my car might be too dark a shade of blue. Looks top quality tbh, and not too expensive
