GTiBEER:
Hi all, I have just started getting into detailing my car after being an avid clean freak I have realised how poor my paintwork really is. I have used claybars/wax and got the surface really smooth. I really think it is more glossy than i have ever seen her in the past 6 months but she is not quite there. Still lots of swirl marks and those horrible little scrathces that wont buff out by hand.

My question is 'can I borrow anyone's polisher'?

Having a look on some of of the detailing forums it looks like i need a 'random orbital buffer' because it is less likely to cause damage for a newbie like me. I get the whole concept and would like to try it out before actually purchasing one.

If anyone is near the Guildford/Woking area I would be very appreciative of the good nature but I understand if everyone thinks im a bit cheeky, just say so.

stealthwolf:
Have you thought about investing in one?

A dual-action polisher is what you mean. Can be bought reasonably cheaply and great for beginners.

GTiBEER:
Hmmm not a bad price really. I just wanted to try before I buy but the easiest way would be to invest hey  :happy2:

If you have the space and time to polish a car, then it's worth buying your own. Even if it's just a finishing pad and minimally abrasive polish, you can get a nice finish. If you don't, it'd be better to get it done professionally.

You say if you have the space - do you mean a garage ?

I was thinking of buying one myself, but I don't have a garage. Can you use outside when there's decent weather ?
