Might be rubbish, probably at this price. I thought I'd let you all know.

They are all much the same but companies fit different badges and change the plastic colours.
It will probably have a 3 year guarantee! Cannot really go wrong at that price.
Good for large flat areas only.
You cannot apply much pressure though............... motor soon complains

I burnt one of these out a couple of weekends ago Well not specifically a goodyear one, but a cheap, of the same kind, polisher

Maybe I was putting too much pressure on! It was an old one and had been set in the garage for like 5 years.

Don't waste your money

Thats 25 quid for nothing

You wont generate enough heat with it to do any correction work

I admit they're not the best, but I got this result:

Pretty good I think Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy one again. The motor's are crap in them and its too big. But it does work.

They dont take a lot of pressure at all. Good for buffing off wax, and will make for a less tiring polish/wax when compared to doing it by hand

Don't expect to do paint correction with it though :|

I might give one a go at that price, not sure that I want to get in to 'correction' anyway as I've a funny feeling I'de end up going too far!
