is this machine any good?

[trile]

never used a machine to polish a car so wouldn't know much...
and this friend is offering this at a ridiculously low price so don't wanna miss out.It beats working by hand eh!?




Are these things any good?
the polish is by MAN ..whatever that company is

 

[Ali]

no.

Thats just one of the cheapo ones you get in argos for like £20 aint it?

 

[trile]

well I can get it for like 12 pounds or smth like that :rasp:

it won't damage the paintwork? or will it? :S

don't have a big choice of polishing machines here, otherwise I'd have bought one a long time ago.Just thought it would be good to have this in the garage for a quick polish once in a while.

 

[Keano]

yeah they go for about £15 new

No it won't damage your paint...infact it really won't do much to your paint period! lol

Not powerfull enough to do any correction. You'l end up buffing the paintwork slightly.. probably creating swirls rather than getting rid of them.

A Silverline polisher can be had on ebay for about £45. Then after pads and polish its about £80.

Ive got a blue one. Its not excellent, But if your carefull and take your time good correction can be done.

Better off spending more money either to get a professional to do it. Or read a few threads on Detailing World, And then spend the money on some propper kit if you intend to use it.

If you just want a bit of shine.. Get some AG Super Resin Polish from Halfrauds.

take a look under my username...
see : location

as I said...no halfords, no car detailing specialists etc

car detailing products start and finish with the turtle wax range :rasp:

e-bay doesn't ship here, so I'll guess it's amazon.com for me.

Cheers
