Help deciding which machine polisher to buy
Greeners:
I can recommend the 'Buff Daddy' Steve as its a cracking machine and is easy to use even for a duffus like me! :rolleye:
And I can confirm it is a re-branded DAS-6.......
Of course once you have chosen your DA you then need to decide on pads, polish, finish and wax! :laugh:

It's alright Nath.

Please be careful Steve and a bit of practice on a couple of scrap panels would be money well spent. :smiley:

Stick with DA, i've got a G220, great machine, but the other mentioned are all getting good reviews. All depends on how much you are going to be using it? Have you had a look at polish and pads aswell?

Steve, I've had both the Rotary and DA machines.
Rotary machines can offer a quicker correction and superb results but when not used correctly then there is a world of pain...buffer trails, burn through etc etc.
Swapped this for a DA to teach the deliquent son about it and have to say they are so much easier to use. Correction is almost at the same level.
The one i got is a Kestral DAS-6. New they are very reasonable (Clean your car do them for 79.99 with a carry bag).
If you get a set then you'll be looking at about £130 for polisher, pads and polish which is a good deal.
Best advice is to test small areas - maybe 18inchs square on your bonnet. Follow the guides about passes and speeds, use the lightest combos first and you'll be well away.
If you buy the kit and want me to give you a quick demo then I'm free most weekends though you'd need to come to me - Uxbridge.

Steve, I also assume you've clayed the car and it's ready for a machine polisher..
Seriously you don't want to attack the car with a DA before claying :wink:
