Hi Chris Summit Detailing (and everyone else), Having just bought a swirly blue Zed I'm feeling the need for a machine polisher... The car club are offering the following member offer, and was wondering if it's a good starter kit. Meguiar's G220v2 polisher Polishing Pad Finishing Pad Ultimate Compound Ultimate Wax It's £199.99 + P&P apparently saving £65.
Gaz, The das 6 pro is just as good or better than the meg polisher. Have a look on here. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/cat_81.html
The kit with the he logic and meg compounds are ok (144 pounds) I prefer the scholl S3 compound as it has a bit more bite. The chemical guys hexlogic pads are excellent. Mark
Excellent site gaz. It's harder to correct using a da over a rotary (pad and compound selection needs to be correct) The BMW paint is hard, I'd go for a yellow pad with scholl S3 compound to start with. That might sort it, but you can refine down after.
Evening Gary! In answer to your question, yes that's a reasonable kit, although as Badman says BMW lacquer is usually pretty hard so you'll only get so far with a DA & those pads/polishes. It may well leave you disappointed with the results. I have an idea if you want to PM me Chris
I also have an ep801 rotary which gets excellent reviews, but I haven't had time to use it yet! My process Wash and dry using correct method Wet sand (by hand not da) Rotary for paint correction (using scholl s3 gold as its low on fillers too) Da for finishing/refining Then a wipe down with gtecqnic panel wipe (for maximum adherence of lsp) Lsp That's ok isn't it chris!
