For applying wax it will be fine...just make sure you`re using the proper bonnet. Just don`t expect much out of it as far as polishing is concerned.

In the copy--"swirl-free shine" is not truth in advertising. *However,* something like that is great to apply products which you do not expect to cause any paint leveling. Waxes--yes. Glazes--yes. Paint cleaners--yes. Abrasive compounds and polishes--no.



Make sure to get a couple of extra bonnets (foam and terry cloth) when you pick it up. Don`t bother with the wool one that will probably come with it. Use it as a doll afro wig.



Get used to the machine, then save up for a pc!



*edit* Matt--you`re too fast.:D

which one would you pick from the above link or this one?

The one at Wal*Mart will do the same job as both of those for $10. All you are looking for is something that will spin and jiggle a little for wax application.

I know you`re tired of hearing this but save your money and wait until you can afford the PC. My bet is you`ll never regret this decision. :p
