Administrators gav240z Posted January 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Guys, I've been eyeing off a couple of Dual Action polishers in particular this 1 seems to be a good compromise between budget and professional tool. https://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/mint_protools/ro_polisher_das6_pro Just wondering if anyone has 1 of these already or similar that I could use / borrow to see if I like before committing to buy? I'm currently in Melbourne and plan to use it on my daily hack to practice first before attempting to correct paint on my 240z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendzed Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey Gav, Both my son and I use one of these Rockwell 'shop series' - the different foam pads are east to obtain - works great and is a random orbital - cost about $120 from Supa Cheap. It's more about the product and action that you use that gives you the greatest results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted January 5, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks Rev, read some reviews here: http://www.detailparadise.com.au/showthread.php?10570-Rockwell-DA-Polisher Seems the consensus is good, I guess what I like about the DA polishers is that they are meant to be idiot proof.

phillay Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm a noobie to polishing paint, and I purchased one of those rockwell ones and went to the waxit shop in tullamarine and the guys there gave me a few pointers and recommended a few pads and products to use. I tape up squares on the panels and just worked on them one at a time. The result was amazing after a few hours of work, that included wash, clay, then using the machine to rub down the paint and then using a wax. best thing I ever did to the exterior of my car.
