Aldi car polisher?

[GWC]

Aldi have a car polisher in their special buys tomorrow for £14.99 it's 3,000rpm turning speed with a 10" pad. Would I be wasting my time (and money) using one of these. I have bought other tools and bits and pieces from them before and they've always been ok for the money.

For £15 I'll give it a go, at the very least if the weather holds I'll get a suntan!

Something like this would be much more useful.

The random orbital ones like you linked are ok for a light buff but don't really do anything you can't do by hand.

A rotary polisher can be used for correction once you get used to it.

Don't believe all the rubbish about burning your paint etc, its really really hard to do it and you would have to be a complete tard !

SRP + Rotary on its lowest setting will give much better results than one of those all day long

Thanks for the link and advice, I hear what you're saying, I only really want to give the cars a bit of a buff up after cleaning, not start correcting etc. If I don't get on with one of the Aldi one I'll look to what you're suggesting.
