Anyone know? I need one for polishing my headlights. Where can I get one? Would prefer to go get it today and not have to order it online, but if that's the only option then I will.

Maybe I should just do it by hand. They're really not that hazy at all.

Is this not something home depot or lowe's or someone should have? geez having a hard time finding one other than online ordering.

You can google it and may find something a little bit cheaper, but the deals that DI has really can't be beat.

you might try the autopia classifieds... i've seen a couple of people sell them used for a bit less than new... i'll probably buy my flex from there, as most people on there are devoted detailers who take care of their equipment...

An '06 and you already need to polish your headlights? Or is this for another vehicle?

i bought the master care package from griot's and started off by
watching the dvd included in the kit.

they will taylor a package for you. it is by far the easiest system
to use with great results. imho, perfect for the weekend detailer
like me.

If you really put some elbow grease behind some Meguiars PlasX you might get semi decent results, but investing in a PC would be a good long term investment for future projects and detailing. The Porter Cable Randol Orbital from detailedimage is a decent deal, especially if it saves you taxes from purchasing it locally. You can find refurbished ones at Coastal Tools. The velcro adaptor plate is worth the investment as well.
