Being a woman, I'm obviously lacking in the 'elbow grease' department and would like to keep my VXR (when it arrives) in tip top shiny condition.
Could someone recommend a decent buffer/polisher to do this for me.
Also any recommendations on decent car polishers/waxers so I don't have to put in too much effort.
Cheers

Well don't know about lazymore like I do 13 hour shifts and won't have too much time to use the ol' elbow grease.... but I do reckon I'll defo make the effort on my VXR and spent quality hours polishing it lmao
you cant use a buffer too many times, try usin autoglym super resin polish ( by hand ) once a month then just wax it whenever you can when washing it!
Who told you that one then? You can use a buffer anytime you want. If you apply cutting compound to it and you use it too often fair enough, but to buff off polish....you can used it as many times as you want.

Judging by the current estimated delivery times on VXR you wont be neeeding one before March.
If it was that far away my order would defo be cancelled.
Its stayed put at end of Nov for many weeks now and hopefully it'll stay that way.

They are not even starting manufacture until 31st October so good luck, ask your dealer to put it in writing and wait for the excuses then.
I know someone who ordered in March this year (2005), they have been been quoted march 11th delivery (2006)

thats what i meant mate! a lot of polishes have a cutting agent though dont they? surely using too much polish can thin the paint out? its only what ive been told, but i find if i polish once a month it stays pristine, all my mates reccomend usin the wax but i havent tried it myself yet but am gonna give it a go.
The stuff that's in polishes and waxes is very very mild in comparison to even crappy t-cut.
An oscillating 'buffer' if used correctly with the correct pad and polish should cause no problems what so ever.
The cordless RAC buffer looks a good one. Anyone got any experiences of them.?
Si.? Whats the one you have.?
Just a cheapo halfrauds buffer. It's a mains powered one. Have used some small cordeless ones and found them pap to be honest. Always get an oscillation head. Found these to be the best and least abrasive.
Rotary buffers are usefull for cutting back new paintwork with a cutting compound...ie G3.
okey dokie, cheers. The RAC cordless one is in Argus lmao Dont seem too bad for the money, but i would worry about it going flat after doing half the car lmao
Mines a B and Q mains Rotary 1.
Doesnt do too bad a job to be fair!
just use autoglym as already said once a month will be fine r more of ur really keen...
Cheers for the advice everyone, really appreciate it..... just need the car now to use the buffer on!!! lmao
Just put the above post in by mistake.... didn't realise the other half was still logged on......
anyway I want to say thank you for the advice about the buffer/polishers
Cheers
What VXR are you getting? Monaro/VX220/Astra?
i have a powermax buffer from maplin, does the job well enough. £15 cant complain with it really!
