Waste of money imho.
No power to use with an abrasive polish to remove paint defects and would take an age to apply a liquid sealant - you'd be much quicker applying by hand.

Might be ok for buffing of some wax but for anything the money could be used for some pads for a proper machine.
FYI these are terrible and not worth buying
I bought one last year and used it a few times to apply Autoglym SRP I think. Worked great I thought and more fun than by hand, well my 7yr old certainly thought so!
I'm no detailer but for the price it's been good, not tried a proper DA machine though.

To be honest Stacey I don't know but if your looking to make a start at using this type of product may be this is where to be.
I hate to disagree with anyone or put anyone down for posting a product but I feel this one best avoided. I have used something similar from Halfords a complete waste of money for any paint correction but ok for a "lazy mans polish and buff" I have the Da pro entry polisher which I bought for just over a £100 at the time and has been well worth the money. The polisher I had from Halfords would not even take out bird crap burn.

I must introduce Martin to my Z3 for a couple of hours
That polisher is pants guys, Not usually one to rubbish anything but that is just throwing money away.
Spend £100 on a decent orbital Polisher(DA) and you will have your car looking fresh as a daisy.
Decontaminate,
Clay,
Poilsh(DA)
and wax/Seal..
Good thing with a DA is that it's gentle on the paint(Depending on what compound you are using) and are less likely to go through the paint when it comes to edges etc.
Using a Rotary can be brutal in the wrong hands.
You can also use a soft finishing pad to apply your wax nice and thinly over the bodywork.
