    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.

    Omg, I feel so stupid right now, I spent on hour choosing a drill from this list https://wisepick.org/best-cordless-drill/, and already ordered one, when there were polishers for $50?? I'm so sorry for your time.. And thanks, hopefully, it's not shipped yet

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