Hi Everyone
Thank you for the awesome comments and feedback. :thumbs:
To begin with, the polisher. It is a dirt cheap Fragram polisher which I have been using for over a year now. I worked out it has polished close to 90 cars in this time so it has really worked extremely hard.
It cost me a whopping R400.00 from Brights and has not given a single days problems. Now before you haters hate let me explain why I use this polisher as apposed to say a Makita.
It has fully adjustable speed, not just one, two, three and four but a dial so I can go at absolutely any speed I wish which is great for some polishes and applying sealants etc.
It is extremely light in weight. I unfortunately suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to an accident with an AUDI A4 on my 17th birthday where I fractured a finger and almost my hand and arm by introducing my bicycle to its windscreen (I have pics of the R38 000 damage I did!).

Because of this I find it unbearable working with the larger Makita and I end up with my hands going numb (right polishing hand mostly) and giving me grief. So when this polisher broke I simply replaced with another one.
After ripping the polisher apart and diagnosing the cause of death (which I suspected was the lil gearbox) it turned out that the actual metal conductors had melted, broken off and had been sucked through the barrel of the motor. No replacement parts and besides, at R400.00 who gives a damn? :blab:
For those wanting me to open branches in Durban and JHB. Watch this space.
I give it 4 to 5 years maximum and we will be serving you guys too. :thumbs:
