Talking £14.99 Car polisher from Aldi..quite good really

Like the results of this item for the price you cant complain really and takes the stress out of polishing the car by hand.

Yes I did have the HDR set to 'on' on the Galaxy S5, but the finish isn't too bad for a sub £15 polisher and like I said it saved a lot of elbow grease

Interesting, i think i will be purchasing one of these. Nearly pulled the trigger on a DA a few times but always thought they were a bit on the expensive side for what they are. But that's just me.

Did you apply the polish with this machine or buff it off?

Honestly Manish, you are having a laugh aren't you?

I remember my parents buying me the Halfords version when I was 18 and living at home. Fucking God-awful device. It barely removes hand applied wax without smearing, let alone actually "polishing" anything.

HDR or not, your car looks nice and clean, very nice mate - but it must have been clean to start with, because those machines really are wank.

As mentioned, you really can't tell because HDR pictures don't look real anyway.

The shine is impressive, but I'd have liked to have seen a "before" picture, because I can't imagine it'd look much different - so it must've been very tidy to start.

it's a lovely looking car, but honestly, you'd do better applying and buffing wax by hand mate. Less likely to induce swirls for starters.

Here's why you should pull the trigger on a DA. I used a kestral das 6 which is about £80 then buy a few pads and compounds and polish and bits and pieces.

Nice results....im not saying they don't work. Just that when i had money burning in my pocket ive nearly pulled the trigger, but instead bought mods for the motor. As ones i was looking at were £200plus for a kit. This could be a cheap alternative until i have finished with modding the car to how i want it, then i may pull the trigger on a DA.

What's all this everyone "pulling triggers"...or not? Gangsta speak....aaaaaaaaiiiiiii!?

Don't waste your money. If you are waiting/saving for a DA6, then save your money - doing it by hand will be easier, safer and better results.
