Hi are you going to use single or double head polisher?

Have you ever used a machine polisher before, and what do you plan on using it for, as if you don't know what you're doing with it it is possible to damage the paint enough to need a respray. For a beginner you're best off getting a dual action polisher before trying a rotary

Get looking through the detailing sub forum as its been discussed a few times as to what polisher to get for different levels and needs

Cheers lads ya I have used a rotary for compounding before and am aware or the "burning" issue lol am just want it for mopping and maybe some compounding and want variable control really. glad you have some good to say about the dodo one!

If the body work is good and no scratches to remove and you just want to polish the car the twin head polisher is the Dogs it does a great job and it doesn't leave all those nasty swirls in the paint. The Valater at the Porsche dealer used one on the new cars it was amazing.
He got me one from Autoklenz for about £50
