Description

 

The all new and improved this DAS6 V2 Dual Action Car Polisher has been developed specifically as the perfect introductory machine polisher. It's light weight, and compact size make it ideal for the home user taking their first steps in to machine polishing, yet is still powerful enough for intensive paint correction work.

Dual Action polishers are popular with car enthusiasts and professionals alike. Their random oscillation make them low risk but give much better results than polishing by hand. The 650w motor makes it possible to removes scratches and swirl marks when used in conjunction with the correct polishing compounds. It is also a perfect for applying glazes, sealants and waxes. The machine is balanced and counterweighted with the use of the most popular size of 5" (125mm) pads in mind, this means it is extremely smooth compared to similar machines when used with 5" pads. 

The machine is supplied with a 5" Medium/One Step Orange pad and a 5" Soft Black finishing/waxing pad, a D-handle and tools, and a canvas carry case to keep the machine and pads safe. So the only thing needed to get started is your choice of polish. 

The DAS-6 V2 comes supplied with a UK or EU plug, is fully CE marked and has the peace of mind of a 1 year manufacturers warranty.

How To Use

The DAS-6 V2 is a power tool and thus subject to a number of health and safety risks that should be fully understood from the outset; please read the supplied instructions carefully. Doing so will help to ensure you obtain the best results from your new machine.



Recommended method for correcting soft paint using the DAS-6 V2:



To correct obvious swirl marks and other common paint defects, start out with a finishing polish such as Menzerna 3500 on a Fine Foam Polishing Pad. Working at a low to moderate machine speed, with moderate arm speed and light pressure, should enable you able to correct a large proportion of the defects in just 1-2 attempts. If your paint is in bad condition and you subsequently find that more correction is needed, switch to a medium polish such as Menzerna 2200 on a Medium Foam Polishing Pad - this combination offers more cutting power, but should be used sparingly, as the rate of paint removal increases significantly. When you are happy with the level of correction, follow up again with a finishing polish on a Fine Foam Polishing Pad, in order to maximise surface gloss and prior to applying your favourite last step product.



Recommended method for correcting intermediate paint using the DAS-6 V2:



To correct obvious swirl marks and other common paint defects, start out with a medium polish such as Menzerna 2200 on a Medium Foam Polishing Pad. Working at a moderate machine speed, with moderate arm speed and light pressure, should enable you to correct a large proportion of the defects in just 1-2 attempts. If your paint is in bad condition and you subsequently find that more correction is needed, switch to a Heavy Cutting Compound such as Menzerna 400 on a Coarse Foam Polishing Pad - this combination offers more cutting power, but should be used sparingly, as the rate of paint removal increases significantly. When you are happy with the level of correction, follow up with a finishing polish on a Fine Foam Polishing Pad, in order to maximise surface gloss before applying your favourite last step product.



Recommended method for correcting hard paint using the DAS-6 V2:



To correct obvious swirl marks and other common paint defects, start out a heavy cut compound such as Menzerna 400 on a Coarse Foam Polishing Pad. Working at a moderate to high machine speed, with low arm speed and light to moderate pressure, should enable you able to correct a large proportion of the defects in just 1-2 attempts. If your paint is in bad condition and you subsequently find that more correction is needed, switch to a heavy cut Compound on a Heavy Cut Microfibre or Wool Pad - this combination offers much more cutting power, but should be used sparingly, as the rate of paint removal increases significantly. When you are happy with the level of correction, follow up with a finishing polish on a Fine Foam Polishing Pad, in order to maximise surface gloss before applying your favourite last step product.



General usage notes:



(i) always wear earplugs and safety spectacles when using a machine polisher; (ii) always tie back long hair and tuck away anything else that could accidentally get caught up (e.g. necklaces or headphone cables); (iii) always switch off your machine at the mains before fitting or swapping the backing plate; (iv) always route the cable up and over your opposite shoulder so as to avoid it coming into contact with the car; (v) always ensure that the pad is in contact with the bodywork when you switch the machine on and off - if you don't do this it's likely to fly off at high speed; (vi) always familiarise yourself fully with the instructions provided for the pads and polishes you are using, and adjust your technique accordingly (e.g. tool speed, arm speed and pressure); (vii) always let the machine do the bulk of the work - there is rarely any need to exert heavy pressure when machine polishing (if the current pad and polish you are using aren't delivering sufficient cut, step up to a more aggressive combination rather than trying to force the issue); (viii) always take a break if you notice that the machine is becoming hot during use - hot machines tend to transmit heat down into the backing plate and pad, which can result in the pad failing prematurely; (ix) always lay the machine on its back when it's not in use, to prevent the pad coming into contact with the ground, and; (x) avoid stepping on the power cable at all times.
