New to Detailing

[betrdays]

I`m sure this is a common question. I`m new to detailing and I need a DA polisher. I only plan on detailing my Honda and my wife`s Prius. I`ve used the Meg`s poisher and of course it`s nice. Very easy etc. I`m on the fence. Some of my friends say the Griots $150 model is all I need. The price is right etc. I`m not rich so I can`t buy more than one machine so I want to make sure I buy the right one the first time.
thanks for any advice!

Hi, welcome to the addiction..... You don`t know it just yet though.

As far as polishers go, it`s more of a personal choice. You can get good results from a 100 polisher v a 5oo polisher. One may do the job faster and the comfort feel in you hands.

I find it tough to beat this for a beginner:

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

In terms of performance, it`s every bit as good as my GG6. The GG6 is more refined, IMO, but I find myself grabbing the harbor freight one more often than not.

It`s $69.99; use coupon code 71018174 to get it down to $55.99. Standard shipping is $6.99. $62.98 makes it a no brainer.

Welcome!!

GG6 is an excellent polisher. Did many cars with one.

Really? Harbor Freight? That`s great to know. I have one roughly two miles away.

Get a used Rupes 15, thats by far the best bang for the buck. I recently let mine go for 225 shipped, sad to see it go but upgraded to the new one which is 400$... The rupes 15 or even the 21 are the best bangs for the buck used. They blow away anything in that price bracket.
