Yeah, it's a lot of work but they were beutifull vehicles when I was done with them. I would not recommend learning how to use a polisher on a new car.
I agree if by polisher you mean a rotary polisher. A dual action (DA)polisher, like the Porter Cable is plenty safe, even if you're not a "professional." As with anything, you need to learn how to do it properly. The Porter Cable DA polisher and even the Flex polisher, aren't as agressive as a rotary which gives even us "non-pro's" less of a chance of causing damage. If your "pro" caused swirl marks after you had it detailed, it means he wasn't really a pro. It's a proven and effective way of removing swirl marks by real profesionals on new and old cars. Browse through the Detailer Domain detail write up's and you'll see what I mean.
