Anyone know a good Electric Polisher i can get?

Willing to pay upto 100 for a new one

Meguiars do one for waxing and polishing www.meguiars.co.uk its called the "PC" and is cordless. Can't recall the price.

I use a 9" single orbit polisher. I got it on a special offer deal in Car Mechanics magazine for about £40 (RRP £80) which I use for finishing new paint and compounding oxidisation out of old paint.

What do you want it to do.

oh i dont think its a good idea doing it with a polisher you see all the swirls really bad. just my pennys worth though.

need to put some g3 on my car, cut the ol d paint out as it is always lookin a little faded.

You can use G3 by hand. The G3 Advanced Liquid is dead good, its also available as a paste. For a one off buying a polisher is a lot of expense. Most of the guys using the Meguiars PC rave about it. Its a dual action polisher so it shouldn't leave any swirl marks.

i do G3 by hand, leaves an excellent finish and it makes up for not goin to gym on the day i do it

NAAHHH Mate, i just bought a mop off ebay (i know but it was the cheapest) as a starter kit for about £100 incl del,
It had g3 polishin head, 3 foam mop heads, and 0-3000rpm variable mop/buffer, its brilliant!
I do a bit of spraying and g3 brings it up a treat quickly and relativly effortlessly as buffer is a bit of a b!tch to use at speed!
It gives it brill shine and altho i broke polishing head with g3 Whoops (used wrong head -meant to use foam ones with g3!) it's a worth while buy as battery polishers go dead! and ive got one of those 2 and i prefer mop, much better vfm!

I got one from a car boot sale! It's some german make, but its really good. I used it to t-cut my astras roof and it did it first time spot on! If you take your time, you don't get any swirl marks. Save's time and saves you'r hands from smelling like polish all day
