Is this the kit that you use with an electric drill?

Looks good regardless.

yes! i would NOT attempt this with a cordless drill. i like to be very thorough and not rush things, it took approx 45m per side to do it right, with a few breaks.

you're going to want a nice corded drill for this

This thing is really easy to do. A cordless drill you'll need more than one battery to do both and probably need to stop for a charge at least once as well. You are basically using your drill as a rotary.

My brother did this on his 240 and it was a night and day difference. It really does work.

Or sand paper and Compound followed by polish works just as well.

you could not substitute hand work for a drill?

I played with Sonus swirlbuster and the UDM on a CRV yesterday and it definitely improved it. But I'm wondering if a rotary wouldn't end up overheating the plastic?
