I seem to be forever picking up stone chips and scratches and whilst appreciate a deep stone chip will require a 'chips away' type re-spray I'm looking to get a cheap(ish) electric polisher from somewhere to deal with the blemishes that aren't that deep.

I've looked on the various 'detailingworld' type sites but get bogged down trying to find a thread that is specific to my needs and where the kit being recommended is available in the UK.

So, in a nutshell, what sub £100 automated polisher can I use in conjunction with (say) T-Cut to buff out some of the less scary marks I pick up on what seems like a weekly basis?

All input (bar sarcasm ie drive slower hehe) greatly appreciated.

Kestrel DAS-6 is fine. Sold under loads of brands.

The secret is not the machine but the technique, including the right choice of pad and polish (certainly NOT T-CUT). Download the detailing world .PDF guide and read it. Practice on a scrap panel first. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/images/misc/...
