I'm going to get a cheap polishing thing for Xmas off the folks, will this be better than doing it by hand?

shed loads easier than doing it by hand.
And Audi paint is hard as nails as well. You'd never get a decent finish by hand, unless you fancy spending about 5 hours on each panel!
btw. I got my PC from the states for £50 plus postage!
You need a transformer pack though as the PC is 110v.
You could by a cheaper rotary/random orbital polisher but to be fair, you're not going to achieve the best finish with it. Megiaurs are bringing out a 240v version of the PC. It was supposed to have been released last month but the date keep getting put back.
It could be worth hanging on for that to be launched in the UK.
and polish is the other important factor. VAG paint is notoriously hard. Forget any polishs by Megiuars/Autoglym etc. You need to get Menzerna PO85RD3.02. It's being specially designed to deal with the hard VAG paints. Trust me, I swear by the stuff!
