Power Polisher

I piucked up a lot of scratches today on the Petersfield recce, so I will need to use a power polisher. Never used one, so what polish do you use with them to remove the surface scratches.

Any tips.

Perfect for the weekend and budding detailer. Thumbs Up

Just remember to clay before using machine polisher and add wax/sealant after.

A reasonable guide if not too American. Gives an idea of what you need to do.

Key things, not too much polish, work it properly until clear and always check as you go.

Tape up panel gaps, plastics and rubbers so as not to damage or mark them Thumbs Up


Only thing to remember that it is not a quick job. To do a D3 give yourself the best part of a day using a DA unit. For a single stage polish on a D3 with a rotory it takes me >6 hours after washing/clay and tape prep.
