It would seem that way mate, its highly recommended for newbies (myself) as well as the more experienced!
From my initial go on my spoiler, its certainly made a difference to the clarity of the reflection in the paint, and removed alot of swirling/haze
Will update when I've done some more!

Good good mate, great machine imo.
Instead of straigth forward polishing mate look into "glazing" "glazes" via machine aswell with a finishing pad. Or even do it after polishing just to nip out the little imperfections that are still there.
is this whats best for a beginner? im new to all this but i'm wanting to correct my paint on the car and get rid of swirls and hazing etc
thanks for any advice (and apologies for the thread hijack lol)
let us know how you get on with it

as above I found myslef using my DA more for pre wax cleansers as they cleaned the paint up nicel ready to wax, as well as doing a little filling like a glaze would with something like SRP, lime prime etc

Did my bonnet today using the Menzerna compound and polish from the cleanyourcar kit http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polis...ion-polisher-menzerna-intro-kit/prod_721.html and it has come up very well, although its pretty stonechipped
Im still finding my feet and discovering all the different products out there, not even touched on glazes etc yet! Care to ellaborate for a newbie?I noticed theres still a few VERY light marks in some areas, not quite sure how to get rid of them yet :S Advice would be great
Also let rip on the gf's mk3 Polo (red) which is very faded and flat, so had a go at that with some different pads and my god its come up so well, she's amazed lol
Ive got a few pics of this, but none of mine yet! I'll get them up in a bit.
Need to change that then
:rasp: Smart arse!! True though....maybe "Driven more than detailed" ?? lol

A few of the Polo, the paintwork is generally pretty s**t in all aspects, full of marks, chips and blotchy bits which would need rubbing down, the works!
The wing's state, same as the bonnet was
Shiney shiney
Dont worry, the bits that were being done and surroundung areas were washed, clayed, washed and dried before hand It was a trial so didnt wash the whole thing!

Looks like the bonnet is off a different car lol
Glaze wise, black hole would be perfect for you car.

Golf GT & A4 Avant
I didn't see the need so went for the standard DA when I got mine
Golf GT & A4 Avant
between the standard DA and the pro? I think it used a more powerful / torquey motor that doesn't bog down as much under heavy load, similar to the revised megs G220.
I kept mine for about a year then went on a couple of training days before moving up onto a EP800 rotary from cleanyourcar but I'm already wanting the 3m polisher.
seeing JD pop in has just reminded me, I've been asked to be a BWAB again on an old Jag with no clear coat paint. trying to talk them out of wanting me to polish it and just clean and seal it or go somewhere to get it done properly. Can't be doing with the worry of getting it wrong

Makes me laugh when people think you're mad for buying a 'polisher' and spending quite a few notes on detailing products. Yet not one person would argue or see fault with your purchases if you did the above to the bonnet of their car!
Good effort.

That's a lie then. It's a totally different machine really. The G220 is one of the original DA's.
You'll be fine with a DA mate. Have a read at this... http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=63859
Gives youa good understanding of the basics and how they work. The product names are old though so disregard them.

thanks for the link, ill do my homework before i make any purchases as at the moment, i just use anything autoglym/meguiars and i am looking to step things up a notch
Are you planning on doing any heavy correction? Ie 2-3 stage polishing system, compounding and finishing. I hope not.
Buy a light polish and a glaze, polishing pad and finishing pad and you'll be fine.
No nothing major, just swirl and light scratch removal, there's only a couple of light scratches where my ex smashed her heels against the sill. Looking at a kit which is the das6, poorboys ssr1 and ssr2 for £115. Then seal with Chemical Guys Wet Mirror finish and then Poorboys Nattys Red wax (by hand).
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polis...ion-polisher-menzerna-intro-kit/prod_721.html
That kit is good. Might be better with some hexalogic pads but the polishes are very good.
Personally i'd buy this... http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polis...ion-polisher-menzerna-intro-kit/prod_721.html

Then top with a decent wax/sealant. Natty's is very good but not very durable mate.

Cheers, that was my only worry. Wasn't sure if it was worth getting a pdg for a DA. Might be asking for a Das6 for the birthday
Cheers for your help gally, really appreciated.
Will get all the gear ordered next week, budget is £200 so that fits nicely! Using Nattys as my mate bought me some at Autosport at the weekend as a thanks for taking him (got free tickets) and his cars off the road, and he's seen me using Natty's Blue Liquid before. Will be looking at some Zynol later in the year by the looks of one of the threads on here.

Fair enough im not really fussed lol its done me well so far.
Yeah Natty's will look great mate. The kist are a false economy sometimes. The menz pads are poor and the sonus polishes aren't great so good to get a glaze instead and fill the remaining swirls.

You're welcome to borrow mine as long as you promise not to drown it in vomit !

I took my old LY bonnet with me to the AF training days and it turned out to be quite hard paint to correct
