Got my Makita last night and LOVE it! I tried it out on a blue ZX2. I used a white polishing pad and SSR2 and it got the paint shining better than new in no time flat!

A friend of mine has had his for like 8 years or something and he owned a body shop and this was the only one he had. He said the only thing that ever went wrong was the cord getting damaged, which is not Makitas fault.
