Griot pretty good deal. lifetime warranty on the griot`s polisher too. I have one and like it.

for a newbie:

6 in. 5.7 Amp Heavy Duty Dual Action Variable Speed Polisher

get it on sale or with a coupon. can usually score it for under $60.

I was looking at some of the kits they have and was wondering if I get just the DA by itself then what type of pads do I want to get to start out with...I was thinking the porter cable 7424xp with 6 inch pad....
Is this a good choice?

unless that concoction contained phosphoric acid (the only acid that will etch glass)

Yes, the Meg`s Hot Rims Chrome Wheel Cleaner contains 5-15% phosphoric acid, as well as <0.65% ammonium bifluoride (the precursor to hydrofluoric acid, an acid which etches glass quite well). I`m glad this thread came up, I was unaware Meg`s was selling an OTC wheel cleaner that contained ABF/HF.

PS I can`t find anything about phosphoric acid etching glass.

my bad, another dain bramaged , senior moment. I meant hydrofluoric acid. thanks for the correction.
at any rate, the etched glass will be difficult to polish clear again. cerium oxide will be your best bet (contained in ceriglass) on a glass polishing pad and heavy machine polishing.

Between the Porter Cable and the Griots I`d get the Griots. More power and a lifetime warranty versus the PC.
