subzeroR33 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Not sure about the autobarn polishers, but my mate bought one from supercrap. He covered his car in polish by hand and turned it on, his new toy. It went bang and set off the trip switch. Farken funny he then had to polish the car by hand and by this time the polish was farken hard to get off. But with those things they all have a warranty so you cant go wrong really.

Silver_R34_GT-T Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ive used one,, but i prefer to do it all by hand... yes its hard work, but i find i get a much much better result doing it by hand.. in saying that though, i use my electric polisher on my head lights with the meguirs plasticx stuff and brings them up good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182081-240v-10-heavy-duty-polisher/#findComment-3306163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
