So having said that, what would be recommended?

A quick search on the Supercheap & Bunnings websites reveals some products that I would be either scared to use or feel would be unlikely to give a decent result.

Looking here gives me more confidence in recommending a polisher to suit.

I think a 5 inch machine with a 6 inch pad would be a good starting point. These are available in kits or as a standalone machine. The kits are currently sold out but represent decent value when you consider the cost of adding pads and polish compounds to the standalone machine.

I like when you buy a machine from the likes of Waxit they will support the product, answering questions about pad and compound choices for example.

Good luck!

I would also add this to the list if you want something a bit more affordable. 15% off at the moment too.
