Good DA Polisher ?
Been meaning to invest in a Dual Action polisher for a while.
I'm not on Detailing World or anything and dont wana get too OTT into my detailing, but do want something to save my hands when giving mine a good cut and polish and hopefully allow me to get a more consistent finish over the whole car
Originally i was gona go for a meguiars G220 V2, but a member on the forum has let me know they have not lasted long for him
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/meguiars-g220-v2-polisher/prod_409.html
so he has suggested the Das 6 pro
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/prod_673.html
anyone else use simmilar machines that they rate?
Thanks

Are they just more controllable and less likely to burn through paint?
Cheers

whats the main difference between a normal rotary and the dual action machines as well?
Are they just more controllable and less likely to burn through paint?

A dual action. It means that the pad not only spins in a circle, but it also oscillates so it's much safer to use. Also it generates far less heat than a rotary polisher.

I detail for a living and use a flex rotary. If you are new to detailing and machine polishing then stick to a dual action polisher it is much safer. I would check out a Das pro 6 it is a fantastic machine and gives decent levels of cut. You are more than welcome to try these machines at our unit, but you are in Bristol and I'm in Nottingham. Oh yeah sell me your car Lol

euro car parts sell them .expensive there but if you enter the code LASTCHANCE25 this gives you 25% off everything…..you will need a pad failing that theres lots of good kits on ebay for around 150 quid made by kestrel known as the das2,,,from memory the difference in this and meguiars is the meguairs has a soft start and no load speed.

I watched a YouTube vid of a couple of guys intentionally burning thru paint. You get loads of tell tale signs before you do any ireversable damage, it smokes, the pads break up.
For the ammount of use it gets the silverline does the job very well..
