Pabs Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Porter Cable Polisher is the one you'll want, but I think you'll have to import it, and change the psu from 110 to 240v to get it to work. Think there is a guide on DW somewhere. I'll have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yea, definatelly Porter Cable machine from Autopia and power supply from screwfix. Rotary polisher is more likely to burn your paint, if you are not experienced car detailer, PC is VERY forgiving and gives great effect on paint AND on exhaust When you will order it, do not forget to order additional pads and small pads + small catch plate. Worth every penny If it comes about power washer, i just bought some no name from Focus for 20 pounds and it is ok, just need to find some proper foam lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 There is a guy on Ebay that sells the porter cable polisher, i got mine from him. You will need to cut the plug though and buy a transformer as it is 110v. If you buy the pc get the sfx mop kit not the DAS kit! It is an expensive game though, lots of compounds and mops to experiment with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
