Hard to beat the Argos Guild Dual Action Car Polisher at £50. I've got it and the £50 spare from your budget will get a new 125mm backing plate, decent foam pad and also some product. You may go slightly over budget to get a selection of pads and products.
Only downside is the short lead but for home use I find it great.

Wow, not bad that price.
You do need to be very cautious with machine polishing, using the right amount of compound is very important.
You certainly won't use a DA polisher for Sealing/Wax.
It will also be harder than you think to control as you need to apply even pressure in decent equally controlled passes.

I wouldn't consider a machine polisher an alternative to manual polishing, injury or not.
Machine Polishing a car (properly) will take significantly more effort as you want to take much more care/time decontaminating the car first, and doing other prep such as masking etc.
I would consider just using your good arm until you've fully recovered.

There are some machine applied sealants. You use a very very very very very soft pad and no pressure. Just saves having to do it by hand.
For you I'd go for a DAS6 PRO.
Or whatever the modern equivalent is.
Reason for the PRO is better motor and, more importantly, a much longer cable :-)
Can't really damage paint with a DA unless you're a moron. So no cause for concern.

Correct on all counts, the DAS6 PRO is what I use, it works well.For you I'd go for a DAS6 PRO.

You may also.want to consider one of the recent mist on and pressure wash off products, I use Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic wax.
I'd push the extra £20 and get the DAS6 pro too - although I think its called the Power Plus now...
