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.

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. |

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. |
