So after the last few years of using SRP and a few other 'products' i bit the bullet and bought the kestral DAS-6 with the sonus kit. I first started on the old micra on our drive to see how the machine worked and to get used to the speeds etc. Next job was my girlfriends 206 which she has had for about a month, i chose this as my car is silver and thought green would be an easier colour to start on. The car was a right state so i would have been impressed with any results really, although i was amazed. I went over most the car with a couple of passes of each polish/pad combination. The swirl marks have completely gone and most of the scratches too, a couple of deep ones remain but im happy with that, and she is very pleased.
Excuse me in the pictures but the other half took them while i was working. Once finished it was coated with a layer of chemical guys wet mirror finish and the car looks great.
My advice to any body thinking about buying a machine to polish their car is do it, its not as scary as its made out its very satisfying and i found it pretty enjoyable.
before
and once i got going
