Want to invest in a buffer/polisher for a finish worthy of the pics shown in this forum

Been looking on line and can only find a very limited range with a wide price diff.
Has anyone experience of Halfords own or either of the ones Argos do. Any reco's would be appr'd.

 

There is no easy way. Use a hand and a soft 100% cotton clean cloth. A buffer will just upset the beauty of the polish.

 

Don't use 100% cotton. Microfibre is what you need with loads and loads of elbow grease.

 

Ignore shineON - he`s clueless. Cotton all the way. Use M/Fs for washing.

 

yep, the only way is hard work and a good MF Towel. Get some good 100% cotton terry towels as well. I use the terry towel for th initial removal of the pain cleaners / wax / polish and then buff with the MF towel.

Choice of wax / polish helps, the cheaper ones tend to be harder to remove. Try and wax / polish on a cool cloudy day as well, and never in hot direct sunlight. Also do one panel at a time and not the whole car.

 

Have no problem with elbow grease and find weekly ritual theraputic.
Interested to see if anyone has/does use buffers/polishers as the friends from over the pond seem to like them, and if so is the result the same or better?

If the same or better then can anyone reco a make! Dont want to get into best product thread as plenty already on other threads. And got me gear already.

 

Rahula has one that he bought from Amazon - do a search for his post on polishing a cliotoris.

 

I find the Argos one good enough. Don't get the two handed one, it looks too big to get all around the car properly.

 

There was a similar thread to this on Boxa.net and the conclusion was that a powered polisher can do more harm than good in the wrong hands, so be warned.

 

Rahula used a Dewalt polisher about
