Looking to buy a polisher and would like the help of the forum. What would you consider the best polisher for under $300. What about polish, wax, bonnets? I'm looking at the Milwaukee 5400 polisher. Does anyone have experience with this unit? Or.........would you just have a professional do the job??? lol

First question: Have you ever used or had proper training on a high speed rotary polisher? If no, then let the pro's do it. You'll do more damage than good & cost more to fix it.
Milwaukee, Dewalt, & Makita(my choice) all work great.
It's an art choosing the correct pad, chemical, buffer speed, & pressure.
Something you may wish to consider is the Porter Cable DA buffer, this will not burn or swirl paint like high speed in the wrong hands. Anybody can use a DA or orbital buffer.
