I saw a "ProMax" 18v cordless polisher at a store on sale for $30 (~75% off). Anyone ever heard of it? Would it be worth getting for only $30? are the buffer pads universal... will I be able to find pads for it? This would be my first polisher. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

This place has a ton of good deals on Tutrle Wax products:
6 flannel towells for $5
Wash Mitt for $5
3 sq/ft chamois for $9
wax, wash, QD, Tire Wet, Wheel Cleaner for $8 ea.
I already bought a bunch of stuff, dont know where to put it.

Just knowing that it is cordless, I can tell you it won't be of any use outside of applying/removing waxes.

I believe you will find there are very few, if any, people here who believe Turtle Wax products are in any shape or form, good. If you are buying from a retail store, get Meguiar's or Mothers as these are readily available, and perform much better.

no good outside of waxing...meaning not powerfull enough to remove swirls?
even then, just for waxing do you think it would be worth the $? seems like it would shorten the waxing process. I'm not planning on buying a PC anytime soon... its either buy this or nothing for a while.

Yeah i agree that turtle wax washes, and wax arnt that great but it was cheap. But the rags, chamois and washmits seem to work fine for me at half the price of meguiar's.

its either buy this or nothing for a while.

I'd go with your latter option. You can spend money on this now, or save it and buy a decent machine later.

I actually have to say that for applying waxes, if the thing isn't a gigantic monster, that it would be absolutely great for waxing and should make it easy since you don't need cutting power.

You got it right; being cordless, only so much power can be held in a battery, and there just isn't any cordless power tool with enough power to cut down.

Thanks for the advice. Any further advice on the process of waxing with this device? I have never used one before so any tips would be useful. is there a specific wax i should use? pads? one pad to apply. one pad to remove? Thanks.

Use whatever wax you enjoy using the most. I personally like Meguiar's waxes. Others like Pinnacle, and so forth.
