Orbital Polisher

Do you use an orbital polisher?

I'm looking to get one for my 135i..

Other than the socket being different is there anything wrong with ordering from the USA?

Yes, it will be 120 volt and not 240 volts. I have a Meguiars G220 bought locally. Love it. It's a high quality product unlike the cheap polishers you can get at Supercheap. Had one of those and they are junk.

Hint though, buy your pads from the US. They are a third of the price. For some reason, people that sell the pads here think they are worth 3 times as much if they do the importing.

I use the flex

but much more expensive than the others. Otherwise, festools also have a very good one.

I use a forced rotation random orbital. Easier to use than a straight orbital, and more effective than a basic random orbital. It is a Bosch unit similar to the Flex and Festools, but half the cost.....
