Best Rotary/orbital for virgin machine polisher(its my xmas present)

[LowlifeDubber]

Now then boys ive decided i want to bite the bullet and learn how to machine polish,basically as ive got her a MK4 Golf in black and it is bloody swirly!
Adi @ http://www.deep-shine.co.uk/ did my MK3 when it got back from the sprayers and did an awesome job but id love to have a go myself(plus i can practice on her car rather than mine)

Anyway im looking at spending £150 preferably with some pads and bits to get me started,Ive seen a few i like,

Das6 Pro

Also the Dodojuice spin doctor.

Anyone able to suggest something suitable for a learner?Id rather not have to get a basic kit then have to trade up in a few months,id like to be able to keep it till it blows up.

Thanks lads.

i'd go for the DAS-6 Pro... its the best DA i have used

Ah ok Guy thanks for the input,how are they for durability and do they come with much manufacturers warranty?
My next post will be what pads do i need

can't comment on durability but it has to be better than my megs g220 which fell apart after only a year of non-commercial use 

you'd have to check with the supplier re warranty... its what you pay for with polishers

I'd go for the DAS-6 too Gaz. I used a rotary for the first time last week, and don't be afraid of the horror stories. They're actually very easy to use, just follow the guides on DW and try not to hover too much and use your hand to check the temperature of the area your doing regularly. I've been using one from work, but that gonna be my Xmas pressie too!

Sweet nice one lads.Sean have you been shopping round for a deal anywhere?I looked on Waxamomo as i like to send trade their way but they only have the Dodojuice Buff daddy by the looks of it.

I would prefer to have a few pads and things in a sort of package but i don't know bugger all about the bad coursness etc.Ive been looking round DW for some ideas but im still not sure what i need for different stages of correction etc.

Also when applying hard wax's such as DJ Supernatural can i apply this by machine or am i better off applying by hand?

have a look at the 3M pads and polishes... very easy combo's to use... green with a green pad, yellow with a yellow pad... or you can mix and match... ie. green polish with a yellow pad!

you're better off applying hard waxes by hand using an applicator, you can apply sealants and glazes using a DA/rotary on a slower speed.. this uses less product and spreads them more evenly

Nice one thanks again Guy i was looking at the 3m range of ultrafinaIII as my 1st try is going to be with her LO41 non metallic black golf and have been told this is the stuff to use.
Im liking the idea of using a colour system regarding pads and polishes etc.I will look into that.

I have a DJ Buff daddy, works very well for me  I am using the megs 7' pads, have one of each (buffing/polishing/finishing) which I'm using with a couple of megs compounds and I tried DJ LP, which I didn't like too much. I bought it all as a oner second hand so I didn't get a chance to shop around for diff pads. I maybe wrong but on the waxamomo forum site it says that they still have their offer of 15% off 3M products...so get involved sharpish!

Just logged onto waxamomo forum and they have a sale on a few bits and pieces one of them being cobra pads for £5...maybe worth a look!
