Whaaaa???

 

[Jay]

is it a rotary?

Not rotary, just a hand car polisher. Nothing special, I've a similar one, it just makes polishing easier IMO, pretty similar if not slightly better result than if done by hand so just saves effort etc.

If you want to get serious then a PC polisher is highly recommended, there are a few experts on here.

Where can i get one from?

 

[LegoHead]

autotopia or autopia i think was the site mentioned by one of the guys.

There is a guide on here on how to import one, cheapish too.

Expect to pay around £200 to start with for a whole kit.:S I'm gonna get one when i can afford it.

The PC is the way to go if you want to do any for of paint correction. Those Cosmo polishers are only really good for applying a wax.

As said the Autopia store sells the whole kit.

I/ve got a RAC one Its great for being lazy however is not so good at doing curves.

TBH I got better results by hand applying then buffing off with the RAC one

I tried one of these once. I was more exhausted afterwards than polishing by hand.
