Long extersion lead then as none of them are man enough to do a decent job
Not sure if a power converter in the cigarette lighter than you can plug household items into when camping wil do the job , Ive got one and used it at pod a few weeks back to plug the kettle in and the missus hair strighteners
You may get one man enough to use a decent machine polisher but will guess you will need the car running as its not a 5 minute job

I don't like buffers full stop,most are too weedy to do the job,and the ones that are man enough leave lovely swirl marks on the paint.
My advice,elbow grease and a good set of polishes and cloths

I do detailing and your wasting your time with a 12v polisher.
Get a Meguirs G220 or the Kestral alternative and a really long extension lead.

Lmao. What about buying one of them 12v to 240v transformers that you can get for camping etc. I've never used one so i don't know what they're like but its an idea.

Have a word with someone in the ground floor of your block and ask if they'd be prepared to let you run an extension out their window? Don't forget to buy them a box of choccies!

Full of good advice here are we not - soloution in my opinion seems to be power invertor/convertor from 12 to 240 and buy a 240 polisher. OP is on the 5th fllor.

i bought the 24v one.....they do leave marks....your best bet is get some poloshes and do them with your hand....may take more time but it will be worth it in the end.....

Get the meguiars one.
Then find a mate with a garden or somewhere you can put the car whilst you do it.
