Looking at getting a machine polisher and all the other stuff but don't know where to start!

So for anyone who is into machine polishing, what do you recommend I get? I.e the polisher, pads, the products.

:xcheers:

Yeah, all I know is that a dual action polisher is better to use than a rotary.

+ 1 :)

I was thinking about getting the meguiars polisher.
Get the kestrel Das-6 it's just as good as the Megs one and much cheaper, i replaced a burnt out Megs with the kestrel and it's doing good, as for the kits there's plenty out there with pads, polishes etc

I believe the Meguiars G220 V2 is out end of the month, early May, I myself may be buying one!

Basically what you want to be looking for is a package with a polishing pad, ultimate compound and a finishing pad to use with some quality wax like NXT :xcheers:

This is the kit I got - not too harsh and great for our soft Honda paint.

I can't comment on the Megs one, but I've also got the Kestrel DA and it works very well for me. I would also recommend it.
