Mechanical DA polisher/ wax - pleased with results

[waxman]

Always steered away from mechanical polishers/ wax as I have no training . However although I believe I follow good practice when washing my cars eg wash mitt put in washing machine each time -etc etc and finishing with Swissvax Zuffenhausen I have found the Black Porsche always has swirls and at the rear the clear coat had become really misty due to the car cover - it does live outside.
Anyway after a bit of internet research I purchased a Dual action Polisher from a well known manufacturer last week that fits onto a standard drill and has various pads you simply interchange with Velcro .
Any way this weekend spent 3 hours in total working steadily but no rush and polished the entire car with the "swirl remover " their lowest abrasion polish on the machine and then applied their synthetic wax to the whole car .

I' m really pleased with the results and the kit was really easy to use and does not feel that it has abraded the clear coat at all - the swirls are definitely much reduced - whole kit including mechanical polisher and set of polish and pad and wax and separate pad was unde £80.

I'll try to attach some photos ( I always struggle with this) so you can make your own minds up as to results

Where did you buy from? It's fine to 'name and praise' on here.

It's Meguiars Dual Action Polisher that fits into a drill chuck- there are youtube clips of it being used which I thought looked pretty simple and safe with a little care . The polish and wax pads and kits are sold separately . Available direct on interweb or I reserved on line from Halfords as they were doing offer of the lowest price of the wax or polish and pads free, which I think saved £15.99.
