Thought i'd share this been reading on it. It sounds like many have used it with great succes for months and is comperable to Portcable

I plan on picking one up as a back up, a cheap alternative for any enthusiest only thing i suggest is not picking up any HF pads buy quality pads,




6" Variable Speed Dual Action Polisher

Looks close to a PC, for $60 can't go wrong. I have a Porter Cable and love it. Definitely get good pads and polish, many systems out there to take the guess work out of "Getting your Shine on!"

I have one with the variable speed too. For what I do, it does great work ,but go to NAPA and get pads. Make sure you get the ones that look like an egg crate.. .they let the heat and polish work their way out instead of forcing them into your finish. Plus, if you're using 3m polishes, you just have to make sure you get the color pad to match the top on the bottles... I never thought it would make a difference but it does.
