First polisher for a weekend warrior

[tommygee]

I'm ready for my first polisher. Strictly a weekend warrior with one car to take care of. I clay and use the Klasse twins and top with a few coats of 845 3 times a year. The first two times was fun. But the last time I was getting a little tired of hand applying all those coats and buffing them out. So it's time for a polisher. I was reading about the HF polisher on another thread. I'm also looking at the PC 7424XP and maybe the Mikita. I know I'll use this more than 3 times a year but is it worth it to spend the extra $ or just go with HF polisher with better backing plate and pads? I hate going low cost because every time I do: I end up SPENDING MORE! What do you think?

Griot's Garage 6". The price, ease of use and warranty are 2nd to none, great customer service too!

You can applyeverything with it except KSG, stick with hand application there, not even worth it with a machine as it will go on and come off w/o even seeing it, LOL!

I started with a PC7424xp, but wish I would have spent the extra for a Flex at the time. The vibrations from the PC will make your hands/fingers hurt for days after. lol

From your post it sounds like all you need is a wax spreader unless I missed something. Just spreading sealant and wax? Machine polisher is overkill for 3 times/year. Spreader Much cheaper than machine polisher.

agree if money not a main issue
