Title: Das6pro first attempt
Post by: DANBOY66 on January 13, 2014, 05:37:39 pm

Hi everyone

so I bought a Das6pro in the group buy on Detailing world

I also got some hex logic pads and maguiar's 105 & 205

I am lucky enough to have a mk1 cabby I am breaking so I thought I would have a practice on the bonnet  :smiley:

Looks good. I had my first attempt with a DAS6 Pro this summer on my last car. I didn't spend enough time on it so didn't get all marks out, but the results are great. My Golf has a fair few swirls on it. Can't wait until after winter to give it a full detail  :happy2:

Need to get a bright light on it really to be 100% and make sure no other markings are there but looks good for a first attempt mate nice one.
Take it you prepped the surface, clay etc before polishing?

That's a pretty amazing transformation.  I'm new to VAG cars but I hear the paint is very hard and takes a lot of passes to get a result.
