Car Detailing

So Supercheap has 20% off this weekend and I am thinking of picking up the Rockwell polisher ( http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Pro...00-Watt/344537 )

My paint has a bunch of swirls etc which I am looking to tidy up (similar to that Porsche just more of em)

I am pretty comfortable with the polishes I need to buy but for some reason confused with which pads I need, Can I just use the pad that is supplied with the polisher, or do I need to buy more? Anything suitable that anybody can recommend?

might as well just buy this kit. (first one for $379) https://www.waxit.com.au/collections...-machines-kits

by the time you buy the Rockwell, 2 or 3 bottles of decent compound (depending how bad the paint is) which are over 70 bucks for 3m and pads itll be about $300 and all you have is a shitty Rockwell polisher.

the scholl stuff is pretty good too, I saw a black GTS monaro that was polished with scholl and it was perfect. bloke used the 15mm shine mate polisher also.

So this sort of three pack is the go for a beginner?

yeah that's great value. 3m , farecla and menzerna stuff is $70+ a bottle and you use fuck all really. I have a 1L bottle of 3m polish that ive had for about 3 years and done 4 cars. still have over half a bottle left

So nopics wants to get me something for Xmas, and I've been thinking about one of these detailing kits for a while.
Not really interested in doing serious cutting or correction, and UTTERLY paranoid about harming the paint on my cars.
I tried using one of those circular buffers like this:
about 5 years ago and made the bonnet of my Soarer into a swirling mess.
Mostly, I'm too time poor/lazy to polish by hand and want to make it easier to throw some wax on the cars every 6 months or so.
Am I aiming too high with any of these kits?

Cant really do much damage with a DA unless you are really trying or really really fucking stupid as TT has mentioned.

Da's are pretty idiot proof unless you put sandpaper on it
