Good Rotary for around £150?

[Chris205]

Hi guys, my current kestral Rotary gave up on me the other day, will be looking to replace it in the new year, what do people recommend for around £150? I want something good with a good track record and no problems. Cheers

I would have said Makita, but i've just seen how much they are new So unless you can find a second hand one, i'd just save a little and go for a lower priced silverline. I've got a £40 one and it works great.

Have you checked in machine mart. I know it sounds s**t but it may be worth checking, I noticed they do machine pollsters and a variety of pads, there's one in grangetown, Sunderland.

Spend a bit more and get this, it'll probaly last longer than 3-4 cheapo rotaries tbf.

The only rotary i'd buy for that price would be the CYC own branded one. The Silverline is way too heavy.

The 3m is a great machine. More expensive obviously.

3M rotary is £195 from i4detailing after CS discount

 

[Cliotoby]

Not read the replies but the small CYC rotary would be on my list. Other than that Id be looking for spending a bit more and getting the CP.

It's only heavy if your a fcuking weakling. I have massive guns so its not problem for me. *



* I lie I'm a weed really, but its not "that" heavy.

 

[Gally]

It is that heavy. Lets no be silly old chap, even Forearms admitted after a days detailing with that his arms were falling off. Okay for £40 it's a great buy but still a heavy machine.

The Forearms were unable to lift a brew after three days of R8, Rs4 and S3 detailing in summer with the silver line.

If and when I get more time and space to detail, the CYC will be first on the list.

The Silverline appears to be the same as my kestrel just re-branded?

I think you puffs need to get down the gym and lift some weights if you think a day of that is hard graft, I recently did 3 days on a polo gti and still had the strength to eat a takeaway

The silverline is f**king heavy, but its cheap and it works... well mine does atm, if your looking for reliability for future and constant use take advice about a better machine, but im still using mine after 2 years

Read above sonny jim VAG paint FTL eh Chris?

 

[Chris205]

Vag paint FTW mate, the finish was superb but yeah its hard work lol

 

[JD]

I agree if you have the car from new and have a good wash process. 6 years of Audi dealer washes is not fun to correct!

 

[Chris205]

I can imagine mate, bucket full of grit and a sponge and away they go.This one had 5 years of very poor washing, was tornado red I think, same as the mk5 golf gti's

 

[JD]

Aye red is a b**ch. Mine's "Absolute" so fairly similar.

If you look around, you may be able to get a Milwaukee one for this kind of money, I know you could a few months back.

I'll be upgrading my 3M one soon, so that will be £120 ish when I sell it
