Indeed they have been sold out. And will not be returning back in the country.

HOWEVER

We have another budget polisher that we might get our hands on. Also dual action, similar to the Shield polisher. Numbers are extremely limited. We will send out comms via Facebook and our Newsletter once we get our hands on them ... :hurray:

So we did get our hands on them. BUT unfortunately, they seem to be a faulty batch. I tested a few and there seems to be an issue with the speed controller. i.e there is a speed setting from one to six. Any speed that you set it to, has the machine hunting between the speed you set and max rpm. :bang:

The quality of the machine seems very solid, good power, compact etc. It just needs the speed setting sorted before we can test it again.

Sorry that this didn't work out, as we know there are a few of you guys that are eagerly waiting for machines. We will keep you guys posted. :thumbup:

Only polishing can take out swirls Jaredm unfortunately.

Poor boys Glaze for dark cars(good band for buck) is an option you can use however this will only reduce it very slightly and it will only last about a month depending on washing techniques then you will have to re-apply:thumbup:

i see you in Randburg.....

Contact Kuvi and ask for a quote for a polish......

My advise dont try and skimp on cost now and end up paying more later which will equate to the same amount in the end :thumbup: just some food for taught :hug:

Hi SHAUN

I have a Meguires G220 V2 DA polisher used about 4 times only. Has a 5" backing plate. Comes complete with box and carry bag etc. I bought a Flex machine just after so that machine is not in use. It's good as new. R4000
WhatsApp on 0731708009 if you are interested.
