Recommened polisher/buffer

[CrayBrown]

I'm looking to buy a polisher to use on my daily driver and perhaps if I do some detailing work for friends/family. I'm looking for an entry level model that isn't going to cost me a arm and a leg. Also what are some recommended kits that include the pads and perhaps all the product I need to remove minor scratches and swirls? I have no brand loyalty right now. Lately I have been using turtle wax's ICE line. I dont know how ya'll feel about that product line but so far I've had good results.

One more question. What size should I get 3", 6" or 10".

I have a Griot's Garage polisher which I really like due to the power of the polisher and lifetime warranty.

It comes with a 6" backing plate, but I'd recommend going with a 5" backing plate and 5.5" 7/8" thick flat pads.

The smaller flat pads are easier to work with and use.

Also, search out videos by Mike Phillips. He provides excellent tutorials outlining techniques for best results.
