    We've asked for money from the outlaws for Xmas to go towards a DA polisher (never used one). We'll try it out on our 9 year old Freelander first like!!

    I've never used Collinite, but I know a lot of people who use it particularly for winter protection. We use Dodo Juice Supernatural Carnuba wax that comes in the fancy wooden pot :)

    I was a newbie with a DA this year Donna.
    Very easy to use and the results are amazing.

    There may be a thread about them on here somewhere else.

    You will get loads of advice on which one to buy in regards to pads and polishes.

    Mi Mam bought me mine for last X-Mas and it is without doubt in my top 3 of best ever X-Mas pressies.
    :)

    I did some digging around a few months ago and found that the Deltalyo DAS-6 and the Pro version seem to the ones most recommended.

    Just counted out the coffee jar into which all 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and £2 coins go at the end of the day... £164 now in money bags that I can take to the bank! Half of that would get me the DAS-6.

    I have the Das 6 Pro and it's awesome.
    Try "Clean Your Car" because Tim will mix and match his deals to suit your needs.

    I would recommend the DAS 6 pro as a starter machine and like Pete says it's easy to use ..
    It's the pads and polishes that make the difference depending on what you want from it ..
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    What's the 'Pro' version got over the standard model?

    Tbh the Das6 pro has more power that's all in a nutshell .. well worth the money for that alone in IMO
    There's other options along the same line .. Meguiars, dodo juice, kestrel but it's all about the trade off between power, smoothness of the machine, noise, etc ..
    Also please do not expect the machine to produce perfect results the first time you use it .. it does take time to master the art of machine polishing :)
