would u be polishing out cars down the line? i would think it would be better just to have the G20 done by a local detailer, since you'd be spending the same amount. most guys charge around 200-300 bucks - which is what you'd be spending on the polisher, pads, towels, and product.
I don't have immediate plans to polish anything else, but I will probably be doing a rustoleum job on both the truck and the civic at some point down the road, and I'm sure at some point in the future I'll want to be able to detail shiz. I've always been of the mindset that a little extra $$$ is worth the experience and the larger collection of tools.
So it's going to run 200-300, how much of that is the polisher itself, and how much is accessories?
