May be an idea to try on a cheap Bonnet or door from a breakers or eBay.

Also lots use a random orbit sander, so long as you can get one with variable speed - not too fast.

You can easily do more harm than good with a DA Polisher.

A DA Polisher is a random orbit sander basically.....the only rotation that is forced is the oscillation, with rotation being a by-product.

As DA's do not generate the same level of heat anywhere as easily as a rotary polisher (forced rotation = more cut available but quicker heat build-up) they are much easier to use for a beginner and it is extremely difficult to damage your paint using one.

Have a look on youtube at the 'Junkman' video's, he uses a Porter Cable which is very similar to the DAS-6 / Dodo Buff Daddy etc etc, he shows how to use the DA and how hard it is to create damage.

Junkman is a legend IMO :notworthy:

What are you going to be using? DA or rotary?

westyorkshireman:
The Meguiars Ultimate Compound is great stuff to use either by hand or even better with a DA polisher (I have the Kestrel DA) there are videos on Youtube on how to use, you just apply your preferred wax or sealant afterwards.

You can pick a large bottle up for about £8.50 on ebay, seen it in the shops for £10.99

Plenty of info on Zaino here, I love their stuff but it seems to be a little bit like marmite!
