Any recommendations for a machine polisher on a budget?

A few threads on this already in this section.

You'll want a DA. The options are Megs G220 (v2 is out), Kestrel DAS-6, Dodo Buff Daddy and the Silverline one.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Remember - that's the polisher itself. No pads or polishes so more outlay.

This comes with pads and polishes and not too far off your price range: clicky

TBH you are looking around £150 mark once you factor in the things you need - polishes, pads, low-tack masking tape etc. I'd also add in small spot pads and backing plate for those small areas like the boot lip.
