Title: After my first going over with the DAS!
Post by: warnesey333 on 20 August 2009, 22:59
I bought myself the Kestrel DAS-6 with the Menzerna kit the other day.

This was my first ever attempt with a DAS, unfortunately I don't have any shots of the scratches on the car, just the final thing.

I was quite annoyed to begin with because the swirls on the bonnet wouldn't come off.
I think I'm beginning to learn how to do this and which mixture of compounds to use and which pads.

When I get back to Uni I think I'll get myself a 3M Cutting pad and try and get rid of the swirls on the root and bonnet. The bonnet is just about there, but still needs work unfortunately :(

Anywhoo, here are the pics.
