Mandla Sipho Dlamini, guiding the business with practical experience
Mandla Sipho Dlamini leads Polisher from Germiston with a steady focus on service, product knowledge and sensible workshop practice. He has built the business around the needs of South African users who want clear advice on rotary and dual-action polishers, buffers, compounds and the right approach for different metals and paint finishes.
He is involved in the bigger decisions, but he also keeps close to the day to day questions that customers ask about speed control, pad choice, surface heat and safe working habits. In Gauteng and beyond, that means helping people match the machine to the job instead of buying gear that is too aggressive or too light for the work at hand.
Karen van Wyk, keeping orders and customer requests on track
Karen van Wyk manages sales with a practical eye for detail, from first enquiry through to making sure customers get the right consumables and advice for the job. She handles supply requests for Germiston, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein, and keeps things clear when customers need help choosing between polishing compounds, buffing wheels and machine accessories.
She also supports customers who are setting up a starter kit or restocking workshop essentials after a busy week.If a customer is unsure what to order, she helps narrow it down without overcomplicating the process.
Thabo Ngwenya, technical advice for safer polishing work
Thabo Ngwenya works through the technical side of polishing, from pad behaviour and compound cut to machine handling on curved panels, trims and metal surfaces. He advises on rotary polishing when a firmer correction is needed, and on dual-action machines when the work calls for a more controlled finishing pass. For beginners, that guidance can make the difference between a clean result and a surface that needs reworking.
His advice always includes dust control, eye protection, gloves where needed and keeping the work area clear of loose cloths and grit. In metal polishing, he reminds customers to work in stages and avoid overheating the piece. On paint, he stresses proper surface cleaning, light pressure and checking the finish as you go, especially in humid coastal conditions where residue can behave differently.
Ayesha Mokgatle, planning training that is easy to follow
Ayesha Mokgatle coordinates training sessions for customers who want to build confidence before they start on their own equipment. She arranges Beginner Polishing Training, Rotary Skills Session, DA Skills Session, Metal Buffing Training and Paint Correction Coaching, with a strong focus on clear steps and practical handling.
Her role is to make sure the training suits the level of the person or team attending. Some customers are hobbyists working on a weekend project, while others are workshop staff who need better methods for daily jobs. Ayesha also helps with Safety And PPE Briefing, so learners understand respirators, masks, hearing protection and dust control before they begin polishing.

Johan Liebenberg, workshop support and machine care
Johan Liebenberg leads the workshop side of the business and keeps the practical support grounded in real use. He assists with machine care guidance, workshop setup advice, pad and compound matching and starter kit consultation, with an emphasis on what lasts in a working environment.

His advice covers checking cables, backing plates, pads and ventilation, plus storing compounds properly so they stay usable in the heat. Johan is also strong on consumables restocking, helping customers keep enough stock on hand so work does not stall mid job.

Across Germiston, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein, the team supports metal finishing, car polishing and workshop setup with clear guidance and sensible expectations.

Small details matter here, and the team takes time to get them right.
