Good starter DA?

[Ant1]

I see certain sites offer DA packages, any thoughts on which one for a beginner? Going to try it on the Clio.

Das 6 pro. Good bit of kit

 

[imprezaworks]

I found the das pro really good tbh.

I’d look into a rotary next I reckon.

In fairness the new cheap forced rotation ones like the Bigfoot are better these days. Much better vibration etc and smooth.

 

[Gally]

Similarly...

Vertool make quality... http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-21e-dual-action-polisher/prod_1391.html

Might give this a go just to start.

 

[Ant1]

Ok I like the starter bits

Probably not a bad kit. Make sure you get that vertool polisher and not a das.

 

[James Mk1]

Can I ask why the Vertool over the Das? I'm looking to get into machine polishing and am unsure which one to go for.

 

[James Mk1]

@gally can you advise before I decide which to buy? Thanks in advance

I recently used the autofinesse rejuvenate kit on a DAS 6 Pro... wasn't a fan. The polishes were dusty and seemed to dry out quickly. Also the 6" pads are massive and apart from the bonnet and the roof they don't fit round many of the curves and edges (or I just need more practice).

When I picked up the DAS I got with with the white and orange hex logic pads with m105 and m205, which is a pretty strong combo. Leaves you with a few spare ££ to get a couple of smaller pads and another backing plate if needed.

Now I wouldn't buy a standard DA. ANT made a thread recently also. Look at vertool on clean your car.

You want a forced rotation throw DA.

 

[James Mk1]

Thanks for the reply - sorry for hijacking your thread Ant. Glad you mentioned that, looks to be a good bit of kit and not too expensive at £159.95. Will go for this one then - unfortunately they don't do any bundles with polishes/pads on this one! (except Sonax).

Was looking at Menzerna for some starter polishes/pads - any recommendations on which brand is superior? Thanks again.

 

[Gally]

Polish is a hard one these days. Menzerna range with chem guys or Scholl pads.

Or scholl pads and polishes.

Carpro range is brilliant but no experience with the polish pad combos.

 

[James Mk1]

Thanks. Will most likely go Menzerna and chem guys pads.

Not sure if you bought one yet @Ant1 but I just put a new Das 6 Pro V2 with extras up for sale mate.
