Would any decent angle grinders work?

Also wanting to purchase tomorrow as ive got the day off!! So has to be availiable to go and collect..... machine mart maybe?

Any ideas where i can get one? Thankyou so much!!

these are all decent machine polishers, so I'll leave it to you to find one local to you

BUT, before you go anywhere near your paint with it, read the polishing guides sticky'd at the top of the sub section

Thanks Dave

Have you used a machine polisher before?

 

[Stig182]

Oh dear.

Why oh dear???? I've polished tonnes of cars in the past properly under the Sun Gun. My milwaukee gave up ghost due to dropping it! and i'm in the mood for a quick freshen up and dont want to spend tonnes! The end results will always be the same!

You asked "would any decent angle grinders work?"

Thats why 'oh dear'.

I'm out.

lol ive just read back how i've come across! damn! i get your point i was just trying to include people that aren't as knowledgeable in the field if any deals/offers were on where i could purchase! Also my friend uses an angle grinder (i'll try find model and the thing is bloody awesome!)

 

[yellowbelly]

Oh dear.

^ This.

Do a search for the word Rotary or Dual Action and you should find an answer

So if you're already an expert, why are you trolling on here?!

There's guides about machines, polishes and how to use them already :S

 

[JD]

You know about SunGuns but are asking about angle grinders?

Shall we start this thread again from my post, please. No more oh dears etc.

What are you after - a machine polisher? Have you used either a rotary or a Dual Action before? What is your budget? Do you have a paint depth gauge?

 

[Jaff.]

Do you have a paint depth gauge?

on that subject. are there any alternatives to paying £80 for one?

 

[Yellow Dave]

where did you see a PDG for £80???? I've been thinking of spending £200 from CYC ready for when I start to do my car

 

[Jaff.]

i thought the PDG 8 (may have got this wrong, little black one that has a digital display on it) was about £80?

that to me is a lot of dosh for what it is lol

 

[Yellow Dave]

this is what I was looking at, a lot cheaper than having to get a panel resprayed IMO

[Jaff.]

thats it. seen one for sale on DW for about £80 but i thought that was expensive lol. seems i was wrong!

I'm sure they do group buys on them every now and again.
