As far as I can see it's more powerful and bigger than the one on the autobrite site?

Not an easy question, power doesn't = better in polishers, and size can be great or a hinderance depending on panel. The cheap ones work but are generally heavier, filmsy and uncomfortable in use like a Peugeot :wink: , when you buy a brand like Meguiars it's all round better in comfort, use, build and a bit lighter (you'll be holding this at arms length on the roof for an extended time remember).

My Meguiars polisher just broke after 8 years and many many cars. So if you'll use it once a year go for a cheap one, if you're going to use it on 5+ a year might be worth getting a better one.

The time has come to purchase a DA polisher now as I no longer have access to the Festool one I was previously using. On quite a tight budget, willing to spend up to £100 on the machine. (I already have some Menzerna polish and Lake Country pads which I can use for now.) Had a look online and found a couple of options all with fairly good reviews: Wittled it down to 2 options I think:

DAS6 Pro from cleanyourcar.co.uk -£99.99 delivered with promo code
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/prod_673.html?added=673
Seems the most popular option in this price range, gets good reviews. Comes with 2 backing plates 5 and 6”

Duren Polisher from Slimsdetailing.com - £99.99 delivered.
http://www.slimsdetailing.co.uk/duren-detailing-electric-polisher-kit.html
Also gets good reviews although not as highly praised as the DAS6 Pro but comes with 6 pads (not sure how good they’ll be however). Comes with 2 backing plates 5 and 6”

I’m aware Argos sell a version of the above for around £60 but only comes with a large backing plate as far as I can see and it doesn’t have the carry case either which will be useful I imagine. I think the Halfords one above could also be the same.

I’ll only be using this a handful of times a year, so I think either will do the job but for the same price, is the DAS6 Pro the best option? Obviously it doesn’t come with pads but seems a better machine.

Are there any others I should consider?

i think the das 6 pro would be my choice , 6 mtrs of cable as well ... seems to get very good reviews for a long time now on detailing world website .. sometimes paying a bit more for tools makes sense and last a long time. buy cheap buy twice as my gran used to say .. probably ..

Mark_DF05:
Yeah makes sense, just purchased the das 6 pro.
