is it worth it?

hi guys,
been looking at various electric car polishers on the net - can pick them up for around £20-£30 - just wanted to know if anyone had one in this price bracket and had a verdict on how good it is? any help would be appreciated

cheers

my other half got a cheapy one from some shop in town, and he still uses it now. just make sure you buy decent mops for it. it gives the car one hell of a shine. on his mind you not mine!

At that price mate you might as well go for it.

You have to be careful with the cheap ones as they are rotary polishers which can easily go straight through the clearcoat of the paint especially on the edges of bodypanels if you are not careful.

Your best bet is a random orbital polisher however they are not cheap most people import one from the states. If you have a look at www.detailingworld.co.uk this is where I got all the info on polishers/products etc. I used one on my old Polo and it came up a treat getting rid of the swirls etc and I had bad paint to start with.

Its also worth cleaing out the arches every so often...

to be fair your car has come up amazing there, so it may be worth waiting a little while and investing in a good one. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

P.s. good detailing skills
