There from a contact, they are alot better than the megs and pc type machines imo, it has the power of a rotary with the safety of a random orbit, the only thing is they arent cheap as there a top brand, but they are very very good

Let us know how you get on and what you think of it bud, I'm always in the market for extra kit!

Loving the Zaino, by the way. Great product and well worth the money. The only downside is the sprayers leak on your hands when you spray onto the car. Got over it by wearing those latex gloves. I might invest in some of those Megs chemical sprayer bottles and tip it in there.
