As the title says... I need a mop to iron out some nasty paintwork and inferior spraying which the previous owner had done.

Are all mops pretty much the same? All I know is it has angle grinder like construction, but is slower and has a head that can take circular sponge attachments.

I don't want to spend a fortune as I'm not a pro. But don't want one of those crappy two handed ones you can buy in a supermarket either.

Thanks in advance.

Rotary polishers are usually better at achieving a high result at a quicker but is more likely to cause damage if it us used by a inexperienced user ( sometimes depending on the user) a DA is the same concept but rather than turning on a central point it oscillates so is much safer for the paint work but doesn't achieve the same amount of cut as a rotary, but will still achieve good results, detailing world has really good guides on how these all work and the ins and outs of the process, if it still doesnt have the pictures in it let me know and I can email you a version that does
Thanks for that. I'll post a pic of some of the runs to give you guys an idea of what I need to correct.

Is something like this any good? It's the only one my local motor factors sells:
