Evening all
The football is boring so thought I would take the opportunity to ask all the polishing enthusiasts out there which DA Polisher is best for a beginner? I've always wanted one so decided now is the time. I've done some research and watched a load of you tube clips for advice on technique etc so now it's time to make a purchase. A lot of the online stuff is professionals talking amongst themselves so what I'm after is some pointers from those who are polishing hobbyists. My budget is around £120 - £150 and with that I would like to get the machine, pads and a range of three different polishing liquids. I'll be starting on the mrs's golf (black with plenty of swirls and light scratches) and if I feel confident enough I'll progress on to the S2. I've got my old 330d to have a go on as well which is metallic silver and I'll want to give each car the full treatment.
Machines I've looked in to are:
Kestrel DAS 6 - these seem to be multi branded?
Meguires G220 v2 - pricey
Shine Mate ERO600 - good price
Porter Cable 7424 - used to be the industry standard?
There may be others worth considering? What do you reckon to my choices? Also there's so many polishing pads and liquids out there it's almost impossible to choose so again I'm just looking for advice on which is the best decent product to go with. Any pointers/advice will be much appreciated.
Cheers
