Machine Polishers

[Toblahoe]

Hi All,

It's my 21st Birthday coming up soon and I've decided on getting a machine polisher so I can properly wax/polish my car after cleaning, do you guys recommend any brands or certain models of machine polishers?

Also any kind of guide to using these would be great, Unless the Detailing hand book covers this? As I work at a printers I've got the pre-press dept to print and bind me a copy.

Thanks in Advance.

All round favourite I would say is the das6pro+ for speed,price and quality, they're are many other polishers too but this has a 15mm throw which is good to do a car all round, anything bigger and you may struggle in the tighter areas

Agree with Cambaines, great machine to start with.

If you have the funds, then the Rupes is a massive step up in quality, and much nicer to use, but the cost is 4x as much so it's arguable whether it's worth it for just one car...!
