You get what you pay for.

You could buy a das-6 for that price ffs!

[JD]

Do I need to look, Kev?

 

[Gally]

No.

You will cry.

 

[syko6288]

They all look like rotary's if your new to detailing you will butn through the paint with a rotary so i would go for a da polisher

Either

Kestral das-6 or meg's g220 look on i4detailing website and they have starter kits

 

[todd100]

whats a das-6? and would you get all the attatchments etc?

 

[Gally]

The second one down is what you want if you want a rotary, it's a great starting machine.

You really want a DA to start with though, although I didn't I had experience with a rotary. A da will get you used to the product and how to use the machine.

To be fair in this day and age I think it's handy to have a da and a rotary.

Just bite the bullet and spend a bit more. Be worth it in the long run.

Admitedly doesnt come with pads

 

[JD]

Todd, DA = Dual Action. It doesn't spin round one axis like a rotary. Rather, it immitates your hand movement while polishing.

Therefore, it doesn't build up as much heat and is safer for newbs.

so you wouldnt reccomend a rotary? if i get one i may go down the breakers and see if i can get something to practice on first

Its a kestral das-6 thats the name of the polisher

[JD]

I wouldn't recommend it for you starting out, no. But hey, I wouldn't recommend getting a car over 2ltrs as a first car as it will be more difficult to drive... but people still do.

It's up to you. If you think you can handle it, I would go for it - saves making the stepup to it later in your detailing career and having to get use to another way of using a machine.

But it is more likely that you'll cause damage to the paint - we therefore advise n00bs to start off lower down the cutting chain.

to me £125 compared to £50 for the silverline leaves me thinking how can it be worth more?

i can see your point but if its a sponge pad whats the worst that can happen? :/

 

[syko6288]

Because its a good brand comes with branded extras and is a DA dual action the safest option the links you have put up look like grinders with a pad on the end which will definatly burn through your paint due to it being a rotary and you have not used one before that kit would be mu choice once better weather is here to use myself

 

[Gally]

I'm gonna have to declare myself out.

 

[syko6288]

i can see your point but if its a sponge pad whats the worst that can happen? :/

They are all rated for how harsh they are to the paint from cutting very deep ie removing layers or just buffing the polish if you used the wrong pad and polish combo on 1st time usage of a rotary you will most probably booking yourself in for a respray

 

[todd100]

i really dnt know what to do then cos cant justify over 100 and if your all not saying get a rotary hmm :/

 

[Kane.]

Second hand ?Detailing world have a for sale section dont they ?

 

[syko6288]

[todd100]

think i am going to scrap the idea of a da or rotary and go for a good set of hand polises and pads, this seem like a good alternative?
