This Apex Customs Karate Kid 2.0 DA Polisher 8mm Enthusiast's Kit contains:
The Karate Kid 2.0 is our entry level random orbital polisher designed from the ground up. Featuring an 8mm throw with a standard 5” backing pad, this polisher is perfect for correcting and polishing. The M8 female screw on the shaft of the polisher also provides the flexibility to mount other backing plates.
Dual action random orbital polisher rotates through the momentum created by the high speed orbital motion. As there is no direct link between the rotations and orbit, this makes dual action random orbital polishers the safest tools to use for beginners but also enables effective paint correction.
Please note that 2 spare carbon brushes are included.

Our quality high pack German foam pads are the best you can find on the market.
The 6 inch Yellow polishing pad has a medium density foam suited for slight to medium paint correction. It is used after cutting to remove heavy swirl marks created when cutting.
The 6 inch White finishing pad is ideal for the application of fine jewelling type finishing polishes after general polishing to bring through that gloss and new car shine.

Loved it. Awesome gear, awesome service.
I was interested in getting my car polished professionally and following a quote I received to get it done I thought "I could just buy a polisher for that" and I did.
Super happy with the decision, the Karate Kid 2.0 has been great, easy to use and comfortable. The Menzerna polish worked great also.
I would suggest, if you're getting this kit as a beginner (like myself) get extra polishing discs, I got an additional 3 medium and 3 finnishing ontop of the pads that are included in the pack (saves you having to stop and clean them out after every panel)... also get a clay bar if you havent got one already.
