Which machine?

I'm thinking of getting an electric machine and am looking at a Rupes LH18ENS and a MEGUIARS G220V2 - bare machines with no pads etc.

Any advice for a first time user?
 
I've got a Das 6 Pro Dual Action Polisher after reading good reviews of the unit :D http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-pro-dual-action-polisher/cat_81.html

Edit - Just realised you are talking about Rotary machines :oops:

That's two different types of machine - the Rupes is a rotary and the Megs is a DA

If you're a first-time user, a DA machine will let you get your head around machine polishing with little risk of overdoing things. IMO, the DAS6-Pro that Swiftly mentioned is a good choice as a first machine and, if you later decide that you want to go rotary, you should be able to sell it and recoup a good part of the cost
 
I've got a DAS6-Pro and had good results with it on a number of BMW's. Yes they are slower than a rotary, but machine polishing isn't a regular thing so happy to take my time.

Get some fairly firm (high cut) pads or meguirs microfibre system and away you go. :thumbsup:
 
Decided on a Flex XC 3401 which is a forced rotation DA machine with CCS Orange, White, Black & Red pads.

The gear should arrive, along with polishes, waxes etc some time next week. :)
 
Great machine :thumbsup: ,

I have a flex rotary, missed the DA stage out as its not a scary as people make out, but you have the best of both worlds now
