Hi all,

I'm after a budget set up to start machine polishing my own cars.

Can anyone suggest a reasonable machine/pads/product combo?

Define reasonable......?
Silverline Blue rotary can be had for £50, Orange for £80, and Kestrel DAS-6 (random orbital) £75, Milwaukee AP12QE rotary £130, etc...

Pads are numerous and varied with no one brand having the best ones to have - all can be made to work, and many will work better with certain polishes than others for whatever reason, inc your technique.

Those will all have pads that you can look at, and gauge if they appeal to you.
There is no right or wrong pads - it all depends on the car paintwork being corrected, and other combinations of factors as to how well you get on with various ones.
