Electric car polisher advice please
Hi all
Could somebody give me any advice on car polishing machines please.
I have seen the one that Halfrords have for about £40 but is it any good?
It feels heavy and i remember being told years ago that if they are heavy you are knackerd after a short time from using it.
Can anybody recommend one please its for a Christmas present and will get some use so needs to be good.
Thanks all and Merry Christmas to you all

This is similar to what we
useThis
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I have the Halfords one. It's ok but not really man enough.
It's not that heavy to use but after mopping a whole car I was quite tired. Probably my fitness levels more than anything.

A frind of mine has one like this and it
works fine. It's not too heavy as you rest it on the bodywork and slide it round most of the time.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
