As for a DIY option, bare in mind that I have 15 years experience with a machine polisher on the surfaces I work with, but I wouldn't attempt to machine polish my van purely because it's not my skillset, and i've seen the results of inexperienced machine polishing
Thanks @TourershineAs for a DIY option, bare in mind that I have 15 years experience with a machine polisher on the surfaces I work with, but I wouldn't attempt to machine polish my van purely because it's not my skillset, and i've seen the results of inexperienced machine polishing
I am going to get one and practice on a scrap panel before I go at the van. Too precious to damage my baby.
For how long?!! Well, at least the mistakes won’t show as much!The wife’s is white
I’ve got the DAS-6.
I would highly recommend spending some time on Detailing World and maybe YouTube before you start using it though.

Watching some of the videos, they suggest DAS-6 not the DAS-6 Pro! Interesting
Ah, maybe they said not the “Pro Plus”!As for a DIY option, bare in mind that I have 15 years experience with a machine polisher on the surfaces I work with, but I wouldn't attempt to machine polish my van purely because it's not my skillset, and i've seen the results of inexperienced machine polishing
So, let me ponder a minute.... @Tourershine and @Niknak both advise caution.... and I know I’m a novice.... I haven’t overcome my nervousness yet!!!
Perhaps I shall start with some decent washing and waxing first, maybe graduate to an occasional clay bar and revisit this whole DA subject later!!!

So do you just srp yours and wax over the top.
I’ve got one of these and an absolute novice.
I’m impressed with it. Like you say comes with complete kits. Just take it slowly. There’s lots of you tube help on how to be doing it. Good advice. Also you can get smaller pads 3” etc
My only complaint is it does vibrate quite a lot compared to machines like rupes
Good luck

I'm witing for Makita to do a brushless one I can use my 18V batteries on
Here you go mate
Not the cheapest option though plus you need pads too.
No, I just don't let my paint get into the state that requires heavy machine polishing.
I brought my t6 used and would say its only had £5 car washes, so needs work to get it back up..
Haven’t you done a guide or thread giving advice on washing and polishing? I can’t find it
