Starter machine polishing kits. Where and what?

[scottie123]

Right, it's about time I got started on looking after my car properly. I use the 2 bucket, foam lance, wash mitt and drying towel currently, but I have lot's of little marks and stuff over the car, and no amount of hand polishing is gonna sort it!

I am a relative newb to the machine polish side of car care, and would like some advice from people who knows the score.

Is it possible to buy a complete beginner kit which includes everything to get started. Ie machine polisher, pads, cutting compounds etc.

Also, I have read there is 2 sorts of polishers. Rotary and dual action. What is the best pick for a newb.

Oh, I will have some panels available to practise on first

Any help and advice appreciated

You will be better off with a DA as a 'newb!'

That's exactly the sort of thing I am looking for.

A spinny thing with lots of pads and bottles.

Looks like my birthday pressie from the missus is sorted!

Thank you very much

Have a good look round PolishedBliss' website. They have all sorts of guides on there - should keep you busy for the rest of the evening!
