Machine Polising
I recently had back surgery so i cant rotate my arms like i use to when i wax my truck. Ive been looking around and cant really afford a decent polisher right now. I looked at this Meguiars DA System. Is this worth the money or not. Open to any suggestions. Ill just be using it to apply wax and maybe some polishing. Also what pads are the best to use. Here is the link to the Meguiars system.

Top detailers tell you to NOT go "wax on wax off" like Mister Miagi taught. You should wax in a straight line front to rear of vehicle. This minimizes the possibility of creating swirl marks in your clear coat.
Not familiar with the meguiar DA, but going dual action is key for your polishing and/or waxing.

get your self a harbor freight DA Polisher to help with spreading the wax, they are cheap and work well for the DIY person. Get two nice foam pads, and your choice of wax. I would look on DetailedImage.com for some pads. http://www.detailedimage.com/Meguiar...isc-P971/5-S1/

Get yourself a quality DA. They're well worth the money, especially if you're interested in polishing and mild paint correction. I have a megs g110v2 and a rupes. Both good machines and no complaints. If you're merely looking for something to apply wax, go with something cheap and with a large backing plate.
