Silverline 1200W Sander Polisher 180mm (264569), Blue

I have been meaning to buy one of these for some time. I have one of the old two handle rotating buffers and they are utter rubbish, all they do is vibrate the hell out of your arms without actually doing much polishing and are utterly useless for compounding. This Silverline product was the cheapest professional type car buffer and sander I could find on the web. I was a bit sceptical at first as normally you do get what you pay for but in this case its well worth the money. I painted the bonnet and one front wing of my 30 year old Porsche 944 using aerosols I'd ordered from paints4u.com (highly recommended - used them before and always a brilliant match using your cars paint code - very fast delivery as well) but was not too chuffed with the shine due to my rubbish painting technique. I flatted it back with progressively smoother wet and dry (used wet) going from 400 grit down to 2500 grit and it looked ton's better but still nowhere near the shine it should have, so decided to buy the silverline polisher. Also bought a medium and soft pad (also by Silverline) as the polisher doesnt come with them. It does come with a sheepskin type polishing bonnet, a sanding disc, a sanding/polishing backing disc and a spare set of electric brushes. I then used the Silverline with the pad on the slower speed, progressing to quicker speeds using G3 liquid rubbing compound which is brilliant stuff, Very soon got a pretty decent shine. Then moved on to slightly less abrasive compound of G10 which again is brilliant and it gave a great shine. Finished off using the disc that came with the polisher with the polishing bonnet and some Halfords polish (dead cheap and does a better job that some 3 times the price - as recommended in Practical Classics) The paint finish now has the same deep shine as the rest of the car which is amazing considering it was aerosols I'd painted it with. If you take you time to prepare it well, rub it back with wet and dry and make sure you put enough paint on and you can get a really decent finish. This product when used with decent compound will get rid of 'orange peel' in the paint as well, so long as not too deep. Just a bit of time and patience. The Silverline polisher is the cheapest I could find and so far having used it for a good few hours on the Porsche bonnet and wing, plus compounded and polished the rest of the car and it has worked faultlesly. The triggers a bit stiff, its a bit heavy but neither of those things are a problem as its a great polisher, is dead easy to use and for the price seems pretty well made. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this product, and even if it packed up tomorrow (which I doubt it will as it seems pretty substantial) I've still saved the money of a bodyshop spray so Im quids in !! Unless your after a body shop standard polisher, Id definitley go for this one. Wish I'd bought one years ago !!! I wish I could attach a picture to show the great shine I managed to get with this but unfortunatley I cant find out how to do it. Shame as the best way to check if a product is any good is to see how well its worked.

Being a newbie to polishing I was not sure where to start. I heard that dual action polishers may be better but they are also much more expensive. As the polisher I brought would most likely only be used a few times a year i settled for rotation polisher and I'm glad i did. The unit is very easy to use and really brings up the paint on my car a treat. All i would say is the unit only comes with a sheepskin pad and adapter and its massive. Unless you are planning on polishing a large caravan or the like with big flat surfaces you will need a smaller adaptor. I purchased a 6 inch adaptor with a number of pads for 10 quid. I think this is important especially if you have a car with lots of lines and curves, with a large pad it is difficult to polish without the pad rubbing directly on an edge, this can be risky as you are more likely to burn through the paint or cause damage. Compared to manual polishing this is so much quicker and the results are quite honestly amazing. I had no idea i could get the black paint on my car to shine this much, it looks wet in certain lights and really looks like its just off the showroom. As far as speed control i started out slow and then sped up once i was more confident. There are really no rules with speed, you can have it on its slowest setting and it will just take longer to polish the whole car, too high there is a risk of burning but if you keep checking the temperature of the panel, it can be warm but if its ever too hot to touch you will need to slow it down. If you have never polished a car car before you will likely do what i did, i forgot to dab the polishing pad on the paint so when i started the polisher for the first time the polish that was on the pad went everywhere. You only do that once. Only negative and its minor, the unit is a little noisy, not painfully so but when i was doing the side of the car next to a brick wall the volume did increase somewhat so you may want some hearing protection.

Bought this as a starter because all the other polishers a really pricey. It's fit for purpose however! I did have an issue which I have resolved. When I powered up the motor, the circlip that holds the motor in would come off as the motor is to strong for it. I placed a 2p coin at the opposite end and it's solved the problem. My other gripe is although I'm quite strong, by the time I'd finished the car my forearms where aching a fair bit. It's fairly big and heavy. Plus side it's got a strong motor. It undercuts most other machines in some cases by £100, some recommend a dual action polisher, I would prefer one but I don't want to spend £160+ on something I don't use that often. If your thinking about it just do it, it's heavy and quite big but it's powerful. Get some meguires pads and your away. The polisher comes with a backing plate which I cut down to fit my meguires cutting, polishing and waxing pads. It comes with a polishing bonnet but I wouldn't use it as it feels quite abrasive. It comes with spare bushes and a sanding pad. Any problems send it back immediately. Hope this helps.

Purchased as a replacement for the exact same model as my son destroyed my last one (caught the cable in the wheel) it’s a decent quality polisher that you can adjust the speed on, comes with a bonnet as well to get you started. It is quite heavy and can be tiresome to use but this can be said with many of the same polishers. Results depend on condition of the car and what products you use with it really but if it’s decent you can use this to get good results.

I got this to do sanding and polishing. I initially used it to polish up an area on the bumper of my car after I resprayed it and it worked very well for that. I think Im going to use it to sand down my decking ready for repainting too. Good value, works very well.

Polisseuse conforme à la photo livrée avec disque support auto-agrippant et peau de mouton 180 mm. La machine est costaude et relativement lourde et un peu bruyante, mais efficace. De la fabrication à l'ancienne et durable. Elle est fournie avec une fiche pour L'Angleterre facilement interchangeable par la fixation d'une seule visse !. Je m'en suis servie comme polisseuse auto, c'est top et pour un super prix. Je la conseille vivement.

e un buon prodotto maneggevole perché non e grande ne piccolo con velocita regolabile e tutto OK. Lo usato va benissimo.

Hallo, wie es die Überschrift schon sagt, natürlich gibt es viel bessere Geräte, aber ich bin der Meinung, für den Heimgebrauch, ist es absolut in Ordnung! Obwohl es Made in China ist, macht es wirklich einen ordentlichen Eindruck, auch die Schalter haben einen guten Qualitätseindruck und es liegt gut in der Hand, und ist nicht zu schwer!

ممتاز صنفرت فيه جدار وشغله ممناز
