So one of my christmas presents this year was a DAS6 Pro Dual Action Polisher .
Came with 4 different Menzerna polishes , 2 Compounding pads , 2 Polishing pads , 1 Finishing pad , a 5" backing plate and a 4" backing plate . It didnt come with the Intensive polish that i needed so ordered that and another finishing pad and some 3M tape .
Im going to be buying 4m x 3m gazebo to do the polishing in and will be getting a pair of halogen lamps too !
Will be done around late march early april time when the weather has brightened up , cant wait to use it !

I bet you can't mate,I wouldn't have a clue lol. I take it you've done alot of research etc?
I'm not sure the car will get any shinier though.

No there all crap . Love the roads up north . In fact the road between Bedford and Santa pod was amazing ! Was late to meet shaun and dan in the morning of PVS and managed to shave 15 minutes off of our arrival times because the road was epic
