Hi, im looking into buying a polishsr, but which type is best, either the angle grinder type, or the da type?
Also i need a good polish, using simoniz at the minute but looking for a better shine. Thanks.

Probably a question for a detailing site. Get a scrap panel to practice on if you haven't used a polisher before, as you can easily ruin your car if used incorrectly.

Personally would not use a polisher, as Noddy says you can easily damage the paint with them, especially the "high" points.

If you want to know how to clean a QQ then sit down and read this attachment. I am also a little weary on using “Polishers” ours is done manually by Hand and the results are worthwhile, but it takes time and patient but it is worth it in the end - Dave 😊
