    Hi folks, I am toying with the idea of getting a machine polisher for my car. When I say machine, I only mean something to put polish and wax on and off with so something low power and low cost preferably. I have to do all my cleaning out on the street so a big buffer would probably cause people to talk to me more while I am doing it ( which I dont want ) Any links, recomendations or help would be great

    Carl suggested this to me http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polish.../prod_720.html as a good starter kit. CYC have said its a good start too.

    Have a look on Youtube at the meguiars videos as they provide a good look into how to use it etc.

    That does indeed look good Chris but I am now wondering if its possible to get a cordless one ? I know, like everything cordless, its not going to be as powerfull but as I said, its only for applying wax etc

    Carnauba waxes are best applied by hand and removed by hand, polishes perform best applied by machine.
