If you can mate get a silverline polisher they only £40 thats what i was gona get till i saved up for a dodo juice one.. will save you so much time in the long run

id strongly recomend not putting a rotory to it because the paint is uber thin on these unless its had a respray so a rotory in in-experienced hands will cause damage.

Can't afford a machine polisher to be honest and like I say, I'm scared of them  :grin:

Going to give the resto max a go and build up some arm muscles! Have noticed these two as well though - any good?

no the sonus ones arent very good tbh and the carlack kit is paste so will be very hard work as in regards to breaking the polish down and will also create a fair amount of dust, not saying its rubbish but paste polishes are harder to work with than liquid polishes and are messy;).

restomax all the way
