Hi all ! :happy2:

Just wondering if any one can give me any info on machine polishers . I drive a Ed 30 GTi in tornado red . I've spent hours in the garage trying to remove all of the swirls . Although its looks pretty good now I can still see swirl marks when it's in the sun light . The results of the machine polishers look awesome ' something I can never seem to achieve!  :sad1:

Just wondering if any would recommend a machine polisher .. And if so which one and which polish and pads to use? And if there are any risks with damaging the paint . Thats my biggest worry about machine polishing !

Cheers!

I use a das6 pro (£100)
Orange hex logic
Green hex logic
Black hex logic pads (£10 ea)
Meguiars 105
Meguiars 205

This seems to do the trick for me. Have you took a look at detailing world? You will find everything you need to know there.

Das6pro I use with lake country hydro tech pads and menzerna polished so easy to use and hard to damage paint with a da

I've tried in vein before now to remove swirls,  light scratches by hand using a plethora of fine cutting compounds and pads... It just isn't worth the hassle, a half decent DA like the DAS pro makes it soo much easier.
