Evening lads and lassies

Just been in Halfords and noticed they are now selling a DA polisher and pads. Has anyone bought one yet? If so does it do the job?

If you're talking about this one;

Knowing halfords it's overpriced for what it is,

This one is very popular with part time cleaners;

And it's sold by a company that solely deals in car care products. But yeah the cheap ones are cheap for a reason, uncomfortable to use, bad at their job and actually expensive for what they give.

One could argue that all DAs are expensive, for what is essentially just an electric sander adapted to take foam pads  :grin:

The Halfords one seems pretty reasonably priced and would no doubt give better results than a hand job  :happy2:

DA spin in two directions and in a orbit also known as throw so reduces heat.
A rotary is similar to an electric sander in that it spins one direction and around a fixed point.

And i don't know about where you live but at car washes near me if you leave £10 on the dashboard during a car wash you'll definitely get the top range hand job

Mark_DF05:
How does this one compare? Better or worse?

As far as I can see it's more powerful and bigger than the one on the autobrite site?
