You can use it for day to day polishing and waxing...

 

[Ruth]

yip although id say if you were polishing it "day to day" lenny ud have no paint left lol. U can apply glazes, sealants and hard waxes with a pc! Also mf bonnets to remove but theyre not much craic.

[B A Baracus]

you'd need an extension lead too...

what is the going rate to get someone to do it for you, ill supply the beers, really do we all need a pc thing each, NI isnt that big lol?? surely you do it once and keep the coats on top of it???

ps great thread and very helpful

 

[Baz C]

get big mark to sort it for ya

 

[p 5ary]

ill tell him of your recommendation Baz

 

[Lyons]

Right, i would class myself as a fairly competent person , so realistically if i get a PC am i likely to wreck the car + take too much off, or is it really rather straight forward?

It would seem far handier to get a PC myself, rather than having to run over to Martyn's everytime a new scratch appears.

 

[Martyn]

Just buy one Ian! There are a few good video's on youtube,

Watch them first!

 

[bob]

Is autopia still the cheapest and best place to get these?

 

[-Pete-]

yes...

 

[damientt]

I'm going to but one of these from Autopia. Anyone else want to buy one and share the delivery charge?

 

[sideways/always]

Need discount code someone help

 

[Ruth]

[sideways/always]

cheers ruth worked a treat ordered last night. Think i will still be keeping my rotary for a spare just incase.

Porter Cable Polisher

Hi guys , have just ordered myself a PC + a few extras from Autopia 2nite It's been a while since anyone has posted about them, so I hope those that bought them previously are still using them !! Bye the bye is it not possable to buy a Transformer + Extension lead locally in NI
Cheers

 

[-Pete-]

course it is. just go to a builders merchants to buy them or the likes of screwfix online etc

 

[minibutmighty]

B&Q boucher Rd do them. beside the torches section, not in the tool section where you would expect them.

anyone got the new meguires g220 yet? any views on it compared to the machines autopia would have? also the megs one has uk spec plugs so no need for transformer etc

 

[Neil_M]

Taz the reviews seem to say its better than the Porter Cable and the Ultimate Detailing Machine.

I was going to ge the UDM, heard a few horror stories about it then its been taking ages for the uk model to be available.

www.detailingworld.co.uk should provide all the info you need sir!
