Recommended Sander

Im looking at buying a sander to sand down my car (strange that!!!), have been doing it with the wet/dry paper, really want an electric one (lazy!)

can anyone recommend a good one, that isnt insanly priced (we're talking student prices!)

cheers

Make sure you get a DA and not an Orbital

Felisatti make the best 240v da sanders but there expensive [ had mine for years and still going strong ] see paints4u website below and the current bargain on Ebay for polishing and sanding -shame its not a DA at that price though

cheers people. thats some great feed back! its off shopping tomo then i think!!

For the benefit of the uninitiated, including myself, I googled DA  


"Dual Action - either rotary action for rapid material removal, or random orbital for a fine finish"

 :google:

if your onto the wet flatting/rubbing down stage then nothing beats the hand,however if your removing paint or keying it up for primer or bodyfiller then B&Q do a random orbital sander with speed adjustment thats only ?26.49 or thereabouts,thats the cheapest option i could find. its ok for early stages of resto and comes with 12 months warranty.
