Napapagod na ko magpunas ng mabilis kapag nagwawax ako. May marerecommend ba kayong polisher?

Meron akong nakita sa TrendsnDeals worth 799 kaso sulit kaya to?

Please share your tips & experiences. Thanks!

Low power lang yan since connected to cigarette port. It is bonnet type so you cannot use standard polisher pads without modification. Similar yan sa Black & Decker waxer/polisher pero AC powered ung Black & Decker.

If purpose mo lang is pakintabin ang car, then okay sila gamitin. But later on, when you want to remove scratches, remove water marks, remove swirl marks, polish glass, restore headlight lens, etc. then you need to invest on other tools.

If you have the budget, get a higher power DA polisher. Good to have if you detail your car often, like monthly or own several cars. Pricey nga lang sila. China-brand DA polisher already costs P7,500 with 1pc 6" regular flat foam pad. The better brands (Meg's, Porter Cable, Griots Garage) costs more than P12,000 locally and 110V pa sila. Need transformer to use them.

If wala pa budget for DA polisher and you have an electric drill, you can get a Hex-logic drill kit. It costs P2,000 and includes all the tools you need for compounding, polishing and waxing/buffing. You can also use standard velcro foam pads from any brand if you want to.

Optionally, samahan mo pa ng clay pad for a complete solution. This replaces traditional clay bar. Cost-effective because it can be used over 60 times. Just rinse with water to clean the pad.

This costs P800. Since you can use it more than 60 times, papatak na less than P13 per use.

In comparison. yung gamit ko dating Japanese branded clay bar costs P850. Hinahati ko pa into 2 pieces para masulit. So papatak P425 per use. Tapon na afterwards.

If mahulog ang clay bar sa floor at madumihan, need mo na rin itapon (unless matanggal mo yung dumi). Sa clay pad, kahit mahulog sa floor, rinse mo lang ng water, pwede na gamitin ulit.

Ito gamit ko dating clay bar.
