Electric Polisher.

I would not bother with the AG Swirl removers. Get a decent set designed for this sort of work such as Menzerna or 3M and the likes

Going to try it out on the Yeti and the Twingo first

Probs a good shout before the Z gets a facelift. My z could really do with a rotary polish and a decent amount of cut but too worried to do it myself. Also a conscious that mine has 8 owners, that could have been a lot of polishing days in 22 years.

@Sean d Do you ever use a paint depth gauge before going polishing? I've seen it done but not sure if its reserved for the old timer cars?

Not needed for the external paintwork treatment for years to come yet, I'll give it a go on other areas post having a crack on the other cars first.

Dumb question but is the flexi line for attaching to a dremel?

Yes mate. Comes with ickle pads so you can get into tight areas easier with better control.

No point using a depth analysis tool as you don't know what's under there, could be all sorts with a thin top coat, just experience and knowing when to stop.

The main thing with a rotary is to make sure the paint does not get too hot as that is when problems can arise. I always do around 8 passes on an area and feel the paint work with the back of my hand.
If you are sensible and do not go at it like a bull in a china shop then you should not have any problems.
The main thing is the Pads and polish sequence

Just got this through the post, I'll give it a whirl later in the week. As much as I like polishing manually this will take the pain and time out of tight areas, especially with the flexible attachment and pads.
