Thye Porter Cable is easy to use. It is a American product so operates on 110 volts, so you will need a 240 volt to 110 volt transformer aswell. The pads used with this can be obtained through 'Polished Bliss'. there is a big logo at the start of car care, click on it and have a read thorough the 'guide 'section to get some more information. I got mine of e-bay so do a search for 2porter cable" and see what comes up. Best of luck with your decision.

Porter Cable 7424 is the only unit I would recommend - it's a proven tool for safe and effective paint correction, even in the hands of novices (although care still has to be taken). If you buy it from www.autopia-carcare.com I can supply a 15% discount code - drop me a pm if interested. The pad kits that Autopia sell are okay, but I favour Lake Country pads, hence why I sell them. A lot of the cheapie units on the high street and E-Bay are rotary units that need a lot more skill to master, and don't have as many options pad wise. In my opinion these are to be avoided.
