Drill with adapter for polishing

Hi everyone, I am sorry for a probably strange question, but is it okay to polish my car using a drill? I just do not have one and thinking about purchasing a cheap makita or something and not sure if there are any cheaper approaches for a quality polishing

Hello Carol,

My short answer for polishing your car with a drill adapter is NO!!!

There are alternatives! Inexpensive Dual Action (DA) Polishers etc.

Drills are mostly used for metal polishing such as car wheels, exhaust pipes, motor cycle engines etc..
