Das-6 with?

[Addicted]

So, never bothered with a DA on my Clio as I had titanium and didn't see it being required.

Anyway, got a Red Golf R now, so wondering what polishes + waxes would go nicely with it? Hoping I can buy today for tomorrow deliv so any recommendations welcome in that respect too!

I have the usual stuff such as IronX, Tripple etc, but only ever used the AG HD wax as it was OK for what I needed

Cheers!

I asked this quite recently. The advice lead me to getting some Chemical Guys Hex Pads, more specifically I got the White, Green and Black pads so I had various levels of cutting and finishing on hand. I ended up pairing it with Maguires #105 and #205 compound polish's. I started off using the #105 on the green pad at a low RPM on the whole car and worked up to the white pad; again with #105 applying more speed and pressure on the deeper and worse marks and scratches. I then used the green pad (after cleaning it) with the #205 to apply a nice finish to the whole car before using the black pad to buff on a coat of wax.

The finish from the polish was good and the swirls were much less noticeable. I wouldnt bother with the black pad though for applying wax/sealant, I got a better result from hand application.

Hope this helps.

Hey,

Ok cheers good to know

Gonna read up into it a bit more too, have held off on my current order, but will read up and then decide what to do from there!

I totally agree regarding pads but I prefer Menzerna polishes. Much more user friendly imo.

Watch Junkman's videos.

Hmm interesting kit - that's basically a DAS-6 PRO with the Auto Finesse Revitalise Kit?

Confused by the top of the post, it says all new and used? Which is new & which is used? (presume it means new and unused)

 

[Matt e]

lol yeah should be unused, yeah but also has the spot pads and backing plate

Cheers, will have a think tonight .
gally any experience with the AF stuff with regards to posts above?

 

[Gally]

Sadly not but great support from them and what is supposed to be a simple system like 3M pioneered.

 

[EZ Tutty]

I used a DAS-6 with Chemical Guys Hex Pads and Menzerna polish on my old Golf R32 can't fault this combination.

I also have a selection of 3M Polishes that seem good too.

VW Paint tends to be hard as nails though, so if you have many imperfections you'll want something quiet aggressive to actually do anything initially, then work up to the finer pads/compounds.

and just because here is a pic of said car freshly polished with a coat of poorboys black hole and I can't remember which wax...

Looks tidy

After I seemingly failed to remove the CQuartz buffing properly, I think I'm going to venture down this route again, as it will take way too long to polish by hand to remove it (as I've found out) to then re-apply it.

I always hear good things of Menzerna. What polishes/pads would you recommend for it @gally? Sounds like some Menzerna with Chemical Guys Hex Pads?

I don't mind getting a selection for everything (so I can do my dads car then too), but for mine at least there's not really any correction needed (no swirls as far as I can see), just a case of getting this CQuartz off to be honest (new car so paint is pretty good imo).

Following on from this as nobody is awake yet, what about just the Meguiars Hex-Logic kit? How dies the Meg's compare to Menzerner?

I was looking at the DAS-6 PRO Matt E has above, but for the cost of everything that seems decent?

Trying to find other places that do a Menzerner/Hexlogic kit but not found anything so far.

 

[Yellow Dave]

The autofinesse pads and compounds are actually a pretty good combo when I used them by DA. They cut and finished down pretty well

they work as well as menzerna / Hexlogic combo IMO but with far less options making it much simpler to choose so for that reason alone I'd choose the AF kit

 

[Knuckles]

Have a read of the machine polishing stickies at the top of this sections and have a look at my 172 write up, I did the whole car (bar a few sanding marks and headlights) with auto finesse revitalise #2 combo.

I find they work very well, only needing to switch to something a bit more coarse when tackling a harder or more severely marred paint.
