Das 6 pro = good da.Originally Posted by car.crash
I'm about to order a DAS-6 PRO with MEGS 105 and 205 with some hexlogic pads.
I don't know what any of it means or how to use it but I've been advised its good
Hexlogic pads= good also.
Look at merzerna compounds to go with the above.
There's a fair amount of people spending good money restoring GT Turbos who could benefit from using quality cleaning products to preserve and maintain their cars. I know some people laugh at the 2 buckets, mitts etc ( i was a sceptic at first ) but it does work.
It's like coming out the closet when admitting to using something other than fairy liquid and a sponge
Agree with this. The hexlogic are a good match with a DA machine, go careful with the 105 if you get it. A lot of these companies now do colour coded pads to go with colour coded polishes (the Auto finesse system being the newest) which are a good idea for the beginner.
Sure you have heard it before but, work up to the finish you require,do not go straight in with the cutting compounds.
Ordered all the kit last night.
Das6 pro
Hex logic pads black, white, orange 5"
Meg 105, 205
Bilt hamber clay bar
Grit guards x2
Mitts
New pressure washer k2 karcher
Snow foam
Drying towel
Microfibres
Is my list pretty much complete or do I need anything else?
I will be trying it out on the wife's c max. It's covered in scratches so hopefully I can improve it.
She's one of them girls that likes to key and destroy her own cars so there will be no end to the job.
The neighbour has a ep801 rotary should I need to go that little bit more.
Iron X and a tar remover as you don't really want to be using the clay to remove these. Remember to rinse car after IronX/tardis before claying or you will destroy your clay. Does the Bilt hammer clay use just water as a lube? May still be worth thinking about.
Already got some tar stuff.
My clay uses water as a lube.
I thought so. Maybe just add a little shampoo to the water in your spray bottle then.
Are there any one page guides I could look at? I've recently got his abarth and would like to keep the paint as best I can ( it's like a pear white). Halfords seem to have a good selection of stuff like the new Merr range and G3 stuff all not bad price but is it any good or shall I stick with auto gym stuff?
I'm not sure if you're serious, haha!
Meg's 105 & 205 are great polishes and work so well with the Hexlogic pads. Ford paint tends to be soft-medium but just remember to start with the least aggressive and only work up as you need to
When are you looking at doing it? I can bring a fallout remover to Ace for you to try out.
I may have a go next Sunday if I get a chance.
Ordered it all last night so should be here for the weekend.
I will give you a shout when I'm about to do it.
I payed a guy from here to do my leon and he did a great job but I fancy having it done more often so thought I would treat myself to the gear.
More often? You can't do it monthly or you'll end up with no paint.. I think a few people are doing more harm than good to there cars, prevention and protection beat correction..
Auto finesse tough coat 250ml. Get from polish bliss on the net😉
