I have this polisher longer time in use, and it has for years been one of the best polishing machines in this price range. With the right polishes 3M Menzerna, cooking ect one is at the level of professional dressers. The supplied wool pad is very good, but with caution. Beginners here quickly polish a holograms. The machine is a professional device of high quality. Info for beginners in this area can also be found in Car Care Forums. There you can also check the correct handling of this machine in pictures and possibly video.
