Default Da polisher advice

I’m looking at getting myself a da but I’m unsure what to go for, I have been looking online the last day or so and am still undecided.
I started reading up and came across different orbital measurements and that made it harder still! I have a machine polisher but I Want a da so I don’t ruin my paint work.

Does anyone one have any recommendations? I started out hoping to get a kit for around £100 but realised that may not be realistic because I’d like a full kit with pads etc so will pay upto around £250

this is seems to come up online as decent?

Yes, das 6 is very popular. Have a look on ultimate finish. I have their dodo juice one.

i would highly recommend the 3m range to go with it, green, yellow and blue top bottle and the matching colour pads - it lasts forever and gives great results. I know 3 people who have large collections of supercars and they all use 3m.

What’s the best option to go for in a kit form? I would rather buy off recommendations so can stretch the budget if necessary,
i would much rather buy a kit if possible
