I was about to get a $109 Ozito Sander/Polisher (non-dual action) but found this gem on sale.
DA Polishers are easier and safer for noobs like me (less risk of burning the paint) compared to non-DA polishers.
Used it on the car bumper today with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and it came out a little more shiny.
I also ordered these pads to go with the Polisher because each pad has a different cut for compound, polish, and wax. Still in delivery though.
If this runs out of stock, there's also the Mechpro DA Polisher (125mm) from Repco for $99 which comes with all the pads.
Did you follow up with ultimate polish and a wax or other sealant?
