Simoniz Fix it mini polisher

http://www.taylorgifts.com/prodetail...8&itemno=28038

I saw this on tv last night i was curious if it had ANY potential.
my question is, what do you guys think about the mini polisher itself.
I mean as a cheap simple alternative to a porter cable.
I have a few scratches i'd like to try this on but i dont have the $ for a pc.
The polishing formula they sell probably wont work, but if you sub it with something like meguires shouldnt it work???
or am i missing something?

That thing differently not going to work. Thats why the polish that comes with it . Just fills the swirls and scratches in.

I'm sure whatever correction it can do, can easily be outdone by hand.

+1. That thing is so small, and being run by 2 AA batteries...a little elbow grease can do a lot more. Just my guess...

A PC is the only way to go.
Well worth the investment.

+1 for elbow grease being better. Just press this thing too hard and it's stuck.
