Good rotary polisher that or so i hear. Youll need some polish. try the Menz range, theyre ment to be very good, dont bother with meguairs.

If you've not used a rotary before i'd pop along to a detailing meet and observe first...Or if you want to dive in, make sure you take it slow and check the paint temp frequently.

Plenty advice on here Re. Polishes and compounds/pads.

Why do you say dont bother with meguairs?? I use #83 and #80 all the time....

Even works well on BMW paint!

Dont think 83 is all that great and 80 has fillers in it. more than one occasion ive found ive had to redo about 2 hours work because of it.

itll take some practise i belive to polish it right without leaving buffer trails or holograming, but im sure after a while you will get the jist.
