I wouldn't bother, they are no good for ploishing and not needed for applying wax.

i used one before i went to dubshed, there handy in the sense that your arm isnt killing ya after but if you want to do a decent job get something proper man. also the motor burns out in them really quick!!!

One of these ( http://www.detailer.ie/store/index.php/fea...tarter-kit.html ) is a much better machine and will actually polish your car.

Thanks Keith, but there is a big difference between 160 yoyos and 20 squids for something that might get used once or twice a year, and really what I suppose is will it help me buff off the car wax? I might feel the need to polish once......

No comparison. As Neilo said buy nothing rather than buy one if those for 20e.

Aside from polished differences, that kit Keith pointed out comes with all the accessories, pads and polishes needed to do a good job.

I have one of these... ive used it a few times before I got the Perfect Paint Kit of CleanCar.ie. But ive become very ainal & the elbow grese gives an extra shine too

But they are a good machine (for what it is!!)... alot better than the battery powered ones!

I can give you mine at a substantial 25% discount... Stil in the box with instructions (I think)

i had one a couple of years ago.
i was buffing awaying until the whole buffing sponge came apart and flew about four houses up the road

I don't think you'd see that sort of worded feedback on Amazon.com

 

[GSBellew]

In a word, no.

I would have to agree with Ray's assessment
