I know this isn't going to be anywhere near as good as proper bodyshops use, but can you achieve any kind of significant results with something like this......??

It £15, so I don't expect the world, but is it so shit that its not even worth bothering with? Or plenty good enough for your average bod?

 

save your money there re poo i have one some where in my garage you are more than welcome to for free ,bought one of the megs ones alot more money but so nice to use

 

yeah a polisher isnt a polisher as some may think, there is some that cost more for a reason

 

Mate, don't waste the cash.... They're not better than doing it by hand.

If you're going to buy a Polisher, buy a proper one

 

I wouldn't clean my toilet floor with that.

Be very very careful buying cheap ones. My dad bought one for £20 to do his Jag with, luckily thought he'd try it in the workshop first, and as he pulled the trigger the whole thing flew to pieces. Was just left with a handle and motor. Good job it wasn't over the Jag bonnet.

 

Do it buy hand mate, makes far less mess.

 

Glad someone asked this question, been eyeing up the suspiciously cheap ones in Halfords recently. I think I'll steer clear.

 

Would you clean your toothbrush with it though

 

OK, I think that answers my question. Thanks.

 

I clean my floor with my toothbrush so no.

get better results by hand lol either get a porter cable or if your brave a rotary or you could try the new megs device

 

ive got a portercable and a rotary, helps when you detail quite alot lol.

if you want a cheap rotary, look up " silverline orange polisher "

 

I have one similar to that and its the sort of thing you try once and never again if you apply any pressure then it just slows down/stops and the polishing cloths you get to fit over the sponge come off every 30 seconds and you grind into the pain wih the sponge underneath. It takes about twice as long as doing it by hand and looks a lot worse!!

 

just bought the silver line orange and very impressed for the money

 

its not a bad little polisher considering. just doesnt have the torque, so slows when you put pressure on it.

never the less, for the money and for anyone thats not using them all the time, a good little effort for around £35

 

Sliverline with a few pads etc for £50, get the orange one, do you proud.

 

you can buy proper mops with adj speed for 50 quid on the bay, i bought one last year still going stong, put a decent head on it and use the right compound and your off

i mop cars everyday, agreed just get a mop, they are the balls!

 

The silverline orange is adjustable speeds 6 iirc

 

Few quid more than next one down, but soft start too
