The 110W Polisher from Halfords has a fixed speed of 3200 RPM for a quick and highly efficient shine.

The Halfords Dual Action Car Polisher comes with 3 different pads for tackling different areas depending on the job at hand. The harder pad removes scratches, swirls and oxidation, the second helps apply polish products while minimising swirl marks, and the third soft pad is designed to give a high level of polish.
