Recommend Mobile Polisher With Machine Polishing

[Lmf78]

Hi all,

 

wanna do my white ride before CNY, not very good condition although i DIY groom my car, got scratches and all, would machine polishing help? Dun have a polishing machine, wanna get one but afraid would screw things up, any to recommend? Mine is a kim chi white ride, if not convenient can PM me...

[Kelpie]

I also looking for one too..one that hooks up to your ciggy lighter point and you can polish right away.

 

Regards,

Those r strong enuff? Dunno how to do it meself therefore wish for the bros/sis here to intro a good groomer who uses machine to polish...

[Kelpie]

I suppose the end result will surely be better than using hands. The problem is where to find it? I have came across only a few in e-bay previously but prefer to get it locally. At least spolit or got problem can revert immediately.

Bro, if you manage to find one pls PM me....interested

Those powered by ciggy lighter point are not strong enough for proper polishing jobs

[Picanto]

still better than using hand?

[Lmf78]

Have tried using hands, but got some area like gone case, so wondering if those machines can work...

 

Or any shop i can go to do get a decent job done up by them? one time no hard selling kind shop would be appreciated...

[Vroomtattat]

Yah, should be better but may cause swirls?

[Rliewky]

actually autobacs have a bettery operated buffer

 

but understanding is only suitable for applying wax and can only last for a short duration. i think is about an hour, if i recall correctly. will not be enough to do paint correction. for that you will need to use proper buffering machine

[Lmf78]

Yeh saw a few at autobacs, just that this pad n that pad blurs me... intend to find a shop to do the polishing, any to intro?

You happen to know if the pads/backing plate of the battery-operated buffer machine can be changed? I haven't got a chance to view it yet. I do have the PC but it's sort of cumbersome to setup just for maintenance work

Without a proper machine (DA or Rotary), your choice of pads are limited, you also only have limited power.

 

Check out the links above, you guys think this will work? Only problem is when we polish the bonnet engine need to be off, what if the battery drained out?

I wasn't referring to those plugged in to the 12V ciggy plug. Rather, those powered by a battery pack. I understand that such machines are not used for paint correction or any serious work. Just toying with the idea of using such machines for general buffing/application

[Rliewky]

not too sure. my guess you cannot change the backing plate. if i recall correctly you can change the cover of the pad.

I saw carre4 got sell plug in to ciggie type....

mayb u 1 2 check it out....

Everytime you polish with machine, it takes off a layer of the paintwork. So cannot do too many times.

hi all

 

my ride is full of stubborn water marks and spots on root, bonnet and rear bonnet.

i had tried a few brands of car shampoo and also tried using mild vinegar to clean

but it is still there. i tried a car groom services but no good as the water spots

are there, it only managed to make the car shinny but not removing the spots.

 

has anyone tried a mobile groom or polisher services that is able to reduce water spots

or best is removed all water spots ?

 

any recommendation ?

 

Many thanks
