save money or pickup PC or UDM ... most others arent even good at wax removal, let alone any true finish care.

This is a case where trying to save money backfires on you. Get the correct tool in the first place and spend the money.

I would say the PC is about the cheapest polisher that actually works and is safe to use without experience. If you buy a cheap polisher that doesn't work you should just forget about polishing and apply a good sealant or wax my hand. You could buy and inexpensive rotary at Harbor Freight but if your not experienced and burn your paint it would cost you at lot more in the end.

you will regret getting anything else other than a pc or udm...ebay is a great place to look but the no warranty thing is kinda scary...its worth every penny and you wont have any buyers remorse...and once you learn to polish your own car its easy just to do one of two other cars for friends or family for cheap and make your money right back and break even...just your time spent is all you lose...
