Megs 220v polisher

[Paul_P1]

Hi guys,

Where is the cheapest place to buy the above? Also the Impreza isn't plagued by bad swirling, so what's the best pad/polish combo to try first?

Cheers!

P.S. Was going to buy straight from Meguiars(149.99), free delivery, also including #80 and #83, anything else needed? Don't think I'll get cheaper will I?

Cheers,
Paul

I take it your talking about buying an electrical mop, its not really the mop thats important its what head you use and tecnique keep it on the panel to long and dry the polish then it will create swirlies.I have tryed the meguiars heads and did not rate them that much, for removing swirlies i use a 3m head which is black and bobley and 3m machine polish with a microfibre cloth.

Its not a standard bodyshop type mop, its the new Meguiars random orbital polisher, if its anything like the PC which it is based on should be pretty hard to create any damage whilst using it as long as you are careful.

Rupes have been making these for a while, i did not get chance to use it for long but thought it was quite good although i could not see one cutting out harsh swirlies.

Who are Rupes? PC and I am presuming the Megs polisher can get out bad swirls, just takes time really, a rotary is no doubt quicker but not really used on properly before, only on some old cars in the dealership that were screwed anyway so couldn't really make the paint any worse!

I thought that until I started machine polishing it, you will be amazed the difference it can make.

Very similar speeds really i think the orbit is possibly better on the PC though.

Thats not the tool I used. If I can I will get a product number for it.
