I just use the pads that I got with it, got about 6.
I use PoorBoys polishes and waxes

#7: Re: machine polishing - rotary or dual action Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:04 am ---- Rotary for better results, DA for ease of use.
#8: Re: machine polishing - rotary or dual action Author: andrew206gti, Location: Crediton, DEVONPosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 1:52 pm ---- ive been reading alot of stuff about it recently, i think a DA is better for my self purely because the marks on my car arent really bad i just want to get rid of them lol. also because my car is black im very worried if i got a rotary polisher i would end up making it look worse just because thats just my luck.
Thanks for all your suggestions i let you know wot i get and maybe do before and after clean up when i decide. watch this space

#11: Re: machine polishing - rotary or dual action Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:44 pm ---- I havent used it yet but i got recommended it so it should do the job no problem, its a good one to start with as it got a clutch
