What is the best polishing machine to use to detail my own car,not looking to spends lots on one aas it will onlybe for me and my car much love

 

I have this one and can't fault it! I don't use the pads it comes with though. I use Lake Country pads and Menzerna polishes

If your unsure you have 2 choices with type of machine . Rotary or dual action . The latter will be an easier experience although dont let me put you off a rotary machine they just require a bit more care and understanding . There are some good guides for machine polishing and i DO recommend reading them to get the best from your products and you before attempting your pride and joy (if you not familiar with polishing ). Lake country pads are brilliant as are the Menzerna pads and 3M not tried any others yet.

Doug why don't you get someone to do it for you and then you can just maintain it.

 

A lot of people rate silverline machines. The DA6 PRO would be a good machine to start out with.
If you have a Clas Ohlsson ( not sure of the spelling) near you they do a twin head DA for about £30 which is very good

 

cheers bud that dont look to bad



hi mat i just fancy giving it a go matey i know you can get those ones that dont damage the paint work but cant remember what ones they are lol

 

Doug you on about a DA polisher mate...

 

a who,what and when

 

Both types can damage paint if not used correctly (you have to be a idiot in my view),the DA is the prefered choice for the newbie,i personaly hate DAs due to the vibration

 

i have done some silly things in my time btw

 

I find DA's fine... Doug would have to be a total plank to fuck up with one.


Doug there's plenty on eBay for sale.

 

cheers peeps i will have a look on ebay mat ta muchly

 

Oh okay stick with a DA then

 

 

Use one for 8 hours + it feels like you have been stitting on your hands for hours

 

fuck that lol i will get fed up well before the 8 hour mark

 

something like this mat

Spot on for what you want mate.

 

What you detailing all the street or a submarine....

 

nice one cheers bud

 

Go on you tube and follow some
Guides on how best to use it mate.

 

will do bud also whats the best compound to use before doing the 4 stage stuff?

 

Not far off a 30 odd foot long motorhome

 

If a car is full of swirls, rds and holograms then 8 hours is a normal sort of time to spend all told And with a DA, it does hurt a bit after a few hours!

 

Then you would be insane to choose a DA to perform that..any normal person would just reach for the rotary...
