Hi chaps,

Does anyone have a DA polisher i could borrow for the weekend? Looking to try and get some more swirls out of my paintwork. Im in the Twickenham (TW2) area, but would be happy to come and pick up from somewhere within 20 miles or so.

Cheers,
Tom

something worth buying for yourself as they're useful to have about http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-DAS149-r ... Ciid%253A5
Bought one a few years ago and it's still going strong under daily use on boats/cars
or even cheaper http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-ER230P-C ... Ciid%253A6
But can't say I like using this type of polisher

If that's just a rotary polisher & not a da I wouldn't recommend them, it's possible to cause a lot of damage unless you're an expert :o

Normally I'm happy to add a tool to the collection, but there's a good chance I'm moving country in a few months and trying not to add more stuff which I'm then going to need to sell.

Thanks for the suggestions, if no-one has one around nearby I might buy one and swiftly move it on.

Buy a das pro 6....do your detail, then sell it on ebay...it'll likely cost you no more than £30 when all done.
