    Great piece of kit

    I am very impressed with the Karate Kid 2.0 and the kit supplied. It is a versatile orbital polisher that has the ability to correct serous of paint issues. And I found that it is a price the entry-level detailer can afford, paying for its self in only a few jobs. The rubberised grips make it comfortable and reduce fatigue when using over long periods.
