Machine Polisher...

[HigtonA]

Hey guys n girls

I am looking to buy a machine polisher to make my life easier, can anyone suggest a good one at a reasonable price?

I was thinking of the Dodo Juice Buff Daddy, can anyone comment on it?

Cheers,
Andrew

I think you think it's Somethkng it's not.

It is not to make your life easier, it gets superior results and done properly will take a fair while. I suggest you get over to detailingworld and get ready a guide, davekgs is very comprehensive and useful. It'll give you an idea of what's involved. Also, you gonna be doing it on a drive or in a garage?

Cheers for the heads up, I will do. I will be doing it on the drive/street

Ok I'll say tackle a panel at a time. Don't try the whole car at once. Several issues like dust etc when it's outside. Plus it will take longer than you will ever think. A set will take say 3 mins per square foot. If you need to do that at least twice for instance you can see how a car takes a long long time.

Read his guide and see what you think.

As for polishers etc the dodo one isn't the best, especially for the money, IMO of course. It has one advantage which is weight. The digital display is a bit of a gimmick.

Okay, thanks for the advice, I will do a lot more research

Oh... And a practice panel to start off. Don't jump straight onto the car.

Practice on Somethkng else to get the hang of it. Otherwise you could easily make a hash of it. It's not easy.

But the results speak for themselves when you've done you're research and practice....

I bought cleanyourcar own one. After talking to people I was told there all the same just re branded

And the cyc one has the longer lead and usually a bag thrown in

Also I went for the one where they put a bigger motor in aswell

It's the same as the das6+ just a little more torque to stop it bogging down as much if you're not sensible with it.

Might invest in one to get the swirl marks out the other car. Never tried so as advised I shall be reading
