My first polisher

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.

Amazing results

After speaking with the knowledgeable team at the detail store it was suggested we purchase the Apex Customs Karate Kid 2.0 DA Polisher 8 mm Clarity Compound kit to give our natural raw edged timber river pour resins a mirror like shine for our small craft store, Creations Plus, it was dispatched quickly and arrived well packaged, and the kit certainly met our requirements as a handy & efficient polisher for the resin boards. we will show case the polisher during our River pours info sessions.
