Machine polisher

[WhiteGTI]

What would be a good machine polisher thingy to buy? I want to get rid of the few swirl marks that I have.

Also what pads etc are good to go with it?

I like to think that I'm not a total beginner to the whole detailing lark - I am fully aware of and use the two bucket method, grit guard, lambswool washmitt/sea sponge, aquatouch drying towel, PH neutral shamoo, claying, polishing, waxing.

I stand by, and always use Swissvax products. Having tried a few products on the market, i haven't found many that rival it. But the only downside is that it is a little $$$ !

Thanks,
Chris.

After some advice from this ^^^ man, I got the Meg G220 polisher with Menzerna Polishes

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polishing-machine/meguiars-g220-complete-menzerna-kit/prod_414.html

Plus I added a set of Sonus 6" pads and a set of Sonus 4" spot pads.

I have been very impressed with the kit and found it really easy to use.

But I have also just seen this at cleanyourcar.co.uk  :-

You will get a nice starter kit for that.

From what I have been told starting with a Dual Action machine (like the Megs G220 or Porta Cable/UDM) is the best way as you are far less likely to do any damage than you are with a rotary machine.

Also on top of the items I listed above I also got some Zaino stuff which produces some awesome results: -

And it smells nice too

I have to echo what has been said...

Start off with the MEgs G220 or a porta cable. They are slower but rather use that then damage your paint.

Zaino has some extremely good products but I agree not much can rival Swissvax

I also have to echo the G220 advice. I started off with one and found them to be really useful without running the massive risks of burn through if uour a beginner.

as said above look at the deals on cleanyourcar. There very good, use them for all my detailing stuff.

Hope this helps.
