Any tips from the professionals?

2000 is good for super fine scratches yeh

But I mean as in a polisher recommendation

Nah sandpaper is good for polishing is what I meant

This is probably the best out there.

Combined with some of this.

Not fancy advertising but better than anything I've used.

Cheers

For a newbie diyer a concours 900 or das6 pro is a good option. $330ish

They are useless. They are more of a wax applicator, than a polisher. They do not spin fast enough to remove any scratches, and you are left scrubbing away with elbow grease to remove the scratches it claims to remove.

Personally, i use a DAS6-Pro, and have had exceptional results. Here are some parts from my old STi and a mates Forester which i painted and detailed using the DAS6-Pro.


Before:



After:




Forester Spats - Self painted - wet sanded vs Polished. Just POLISH. No wax yet..

Yep those wax attack polishers are just time cutters. I have one and its for the fact that I can do a quick cleaner wax in about 40min start to finish. By hand it's double that!! And I'm toast after!!!

Edit ** you have some skills btw!!! Very nice work!!

Just saw this thread after hitting the button on a DAS6-Pro from CCP. Judging by the pics, I haven't made a mistake! Ended up buying a pack with a few different pads in it, and adding a few smaller pads for the pillars etc.
Any tips for a first timer?
