Default Anyone using a dual action machine polisher

I'm going to get one but not sure what to go for. I like the look of the Meguiars G220 V2 but they're quite expensive considering you have to buy all the pads etc on top of the initial price. If its worth the extra I'll probably get one but I'd like to know what other people use and the sort of results you get.

Are you on facebook? Detailing addicts group buy page I got the Poorboys Das6pro, with 3 5.5" hex logic pads and Megs 105 and 205 compounds for Ł130 delivered. I think its gone up bu a fiver now but still very cheap.

I haven't dared use it yet but my escort is having the front end repainted soon so I will have a practice soon enough.

DAS6

Best value for money machine and the same machine that gets labelled up by other brands and sold at a premium.

Das6 is what i use, not fast at cutting back though. But that's what a rotary does best though.
Cleanyourcar.co.uk good deals.
I have thought of buying the das21 though for more cutting power.

Defo DA6, ideal if its your first machine and once you've mastered that then step up to a rotary
