If it's the red thing for about £15 i bought one recently but not had a chance to play with it on the car yet. Used it briefly on some new alloys with some poor boy's alloy sealant and seemed ok with that.

My thoughts on polishers and methods here...

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...es_polish.hmtl

The cheaper microfibre bonnet style buffers aren't worth the money, and can do more harm than good. If you want a machine, then a Porter cable is what I would recommend, reasons outlined in the above guide. Best place to buy from is Car Detailing Supplies, Car Wax, Car Polishers, Car Care Products, current exchange rate means a basic unit comes in at less than £100.

eBay.co.uk: Porter Cable 7424 Car Polisher Kit, + 2 year warranty! (item 150091127755 end time 18-Feb-07 21:26:40 GMT)

^^ The deluxe kit from the looks of it with the extra bits @ £135 + 10 del (if UK supplied no risk of unwelcome tax as well), says on it about GB's as well so might be worth posting a suitable thread in the GB's section to get the price down a little.
