i saw this on DW last night

thats a great result using a DA  :cool:

i see you have the DAS 6-PRO - best of the DA's imho

now... the only thing I would have an issue with is...

Very, very impressive!  I won't go into my thoughts on this system here, I'll do a specific review, but it's very impressive and certainly has its place, but I need to have more of a play to find a way to tackle RDS's, as a rotary is a lot more effective, at least based on my experience level, and you really do need to keep the pads clean and primed, or the performance drops off.  I think coming from a rotary to this system is more of a sideways step, but its a great system for somebody looking to step up from a frustrating DA experience, to something which will cut a lot more effectively, but the system is quite fussy, so requires you to follow the instructions pretty much to the letter.  I'd suggest buying a fair few pads too, as I was preferring to use a new one every panel or two, despite cleaning the pads with a Megs Triple Duty brush.


now i'm not one to complain much but that seems a tad steep when you are talking 6 panels per car x 2 so you are essentially looking at about £120 in pads...

they also don't look as though they have any life in them either as they are so thin  :undecided:

I can however see this as a very good set-up from, as you say, a frustrating DA experience, especially for the beginner. I can't help being slightly sceptical that this is an attempt by megs to sell users into a complete system of DA, pads, polishes and microfibres.

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

Thanks all!

I've since had a pad for the MF system explode on me, which Megs UK have kindly agreed to replace for me...
