Ive seen alot of you tube videos showing off best dual action polishers etc etc for a good prive found that harbor freight had a quality polisher for some 50-70 $ but everyone complained that the backing plate it came with was of poor quality and recommended getting Meguiars Buff DA Polisher Backing Plate so that is why I got this stuff ! cost me some $20 for it after shipping (almost half of what ive paid for polisher) and to be honest I feel no difference in between harbor freight and this one !! the only difference ive noticed is that the pad on edges is softer than harbor freight one but again im sure over time H.F. should get softer too lol but again !!! everyone recommends you get this stuff so I did and honestly save your money it doesnt seem to be worth it
if you simply want to maintain your car yourself i would advice you invest your money else where =] better quality compound or polish
