Suggestions for starter kits for DA polisher?

I've got one of these machines with pads etc...and now need to get machine friendly products for removing minor swirls and polishing.

Anyone got any suggestions?

If not, i'll be picking one of these and will report back with before/after pics.

The das 6 is great little machine,although a little underpowered for some work.. Its a brilliant starter DA though


I have used the Megs ultimate compound for a while now,its great stuff and very easy to use..It breaks down easily and more or less negates the polishing stage.. I often move straight to glaze and wax..

Personally on BMW paint i would be using a microfibre pad.

Cheers. What do you mean about using a microfibre pad? Cloth you mean? And instead of using the machine for the polishing?

You can get foam,denim and microfibre pads that fit onto the Das 6

The microfibre cutting pad is great for getting swirls out on hard paint...
