Hi, my car is covered in swirls and scratches that havent gone through the paint, although some have but thats another story. Getting these out is a complete b**ch and i seem to be getting no where. Can anyone recomend a cheap handheld electric polisher that would be ok for getting the scratches out? Also can you use scratch-x with a polisher or is there a milder polish that you recommend?

ide check what pads come with it first, (blue one)
the one i posted comes with 5 heads anyway. so tbh the meguires head will be a wasted £12 unless the 5 heads that come with it are all terrible. but mine were fine.
if your getting rid of scratches use forecla G3 http://www.marinemegastore.com/jump/28/cat_id/MAIEPO0011/product-product-AQU_Q05251.htm
or something called scratch-x (never used it)

Polishes wise I would look into Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish or the Poorboys SSR range.
I would practice on some panels first if you go down the Rotary route as shifting the defects on your black car will be the easy bit, finishing down by rotary to a hologram free finish by one on Black as your first attempt will be the hard bit.

Your will need the 5" backing plate for the Megs pads.
They are on ebay and cheaper than the pads. All depends on how far you wanna go but check detailingworld.co.uk. Search for Silverline.
The pads that come with it are ok but then again I thought it was ok to wax with a old terry bedsheet till I brought Megs pads (by hand of course.)
