Hi all,

Bit of a novice here - time has come to start paying a bit more attention to the car, starting with a good polish!

i want to buy a machine posilish but i have no idea what's the best on the market for this kind of price range - £50-70

What are everyone's thoughts on the below machine? amazon was in fairness the first place i looked....

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SILVERLINE-SILVERSTORM%C2%AE-129659-POLISHER-PLATINUM/dp/B005KUGMK2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342533071&sr=8-1

i'm gonna have a good read through this detailing section but are there any products out there which everyone uses??

Also a couple of tiny scratches on the car, want to try polish them out, again what would be best for this?

Frenzy:
before buying any machine polisher definitely read the thread linked in the other post where you are uncertain of what holograms are  :scared:  :happy2:

TBH it doesnt look too bad and a great price.

Most important thing is whats its lowest speed. Needs to be 600-900rpm for spreading and then up to 1500-1800rpm for polishing. As long as its got good speed variation then it should be suitable for working on the car.

BUT!!!!!!!

Please dont go anywhere near your car with this until you know what your doing. Get a scrap bonnet from the scrappy and have a play on that first... otherwise your next thread title will be

"help i've completely buggered up my paint with a £50 tool I got on amazon"
