Handheld polishing machine?

[Lucaswh]

There is such a thing in the market right?

 

I'm usually too lazy to polish so thinking of getting one of these.. how much is it and does it really do the job with minimal effort?

[Nicholas1986]

there are those by black and decker around 60+ (for waxing only)

then there are those by bosch 170+ (for waxing and minium poslihing)

then there are those by porter cable/ meguiars 300+ (for poslihing and waxing + some defect removal)

If u'r lazy to begin with just let professional ppl do it cos even after u had bought it u will chuck it somewhere in your storeroom. So why waste more money?

 

I use manual polishing, not only my car is buffed so are my arms.

u can go west side autobacksss and see, some are quite cheap below 50 bucks but i find wire not long enuff

[Lucaswh]

wiring is not a problem..

 

so the 50 bucks one is i just apply the polish on the car and then use the machine go over it?

I would say don't bother about getting one ...be it expensive or cheap

 

Cheap one - Normally is those plug to car socket . Not powerful enough . You press slightly hard . The motor would stop rotating . Wants to bluff hard also difficult .

 

More powerful one most probably need to connect to outside electricity . Well . Unless you live in Ang Mo Chu . Maybe can find the power source ...I stay HDB .Don't know where to find one

 

Last time i got one as a present from my friend (Cheap car plug type). Used once . Keep in store room never used again . (Want to use again also cannot)

 

Why ? Because the very first time i use , already find the motor no power already . It's like tickling the car instead . Mor Mor only .

 

So after using . I just put the whole thing in the box that came with it . After some time . Thought of using it again ...But too bad ...cannot be used ...Partial area of the polishing pad/sponge already harden . Some corners also sinked as not placed properly . LL throw it away ...
