We Say
For bigger correction jobs, the 15mm throw is the real reason to choose the PRO Plus, not simply its motor rating.
The DAS-6 PRO Plus V2 is the machine we'd consider when the focus moves from occasional paint improvement to covering whole vehicles efficiently. Its 15mm orbit is a clear departure from the 9mm movement of the standard and PRO models, and that difference changes how the machine feels and where it makes most sense.
On larger, relatively open panels, the longer throw allows the pad to travel further on every orbit. With the right technique and polishing combination, that can help you work through correction stages efficiently. It's a particularly appealing option for someone regularly polishing bonnets, doors and larger body panels.
There is a trade-off, though. A longer-throw machine isn't automatically better everywhere. Tight curves, narrow sections and intricate bumpers can make it harder to keep the pad working freely, so a smaller or short-throw machine may still be the right choice for those areas. We think it's worth understanding that before deciding on the PRO Plus as your only machine.
The revised 1000W motor, updated internals and new body design strengthen the case for it as a serious detailing tool. We also like that both 125mm and 150mm backing plates are supplied, giving you more flexibility in pad selection than a single-plate setup.
If you're buying your very first polisher to maintain one car, the standard DAS-6 V2 or PRO V2 may be easier to learn with. But if you're comfortable with machine polishing, work on larger sections regularly and want the efficiency of a long-throw DA, this is the one in the DAS-6 line-up we'd look at first.

Description
The DAS-6 PRO Plus V2 combines a 15mm free-spinning dual action orbit with a 1000W motor for paint correction and finishing over larger panels.
An updated body design, revised internals and six-speed control are intended to make sustained machine polishing more comfortable. The supplied 125mm and 150mm backing plates provide a choice of pad formats, although a long-throw machine still requires care around tight contours.

How To Use
1) Prepare and inspect:
Wash and decontaminate the car. Check the paint for deeper defects and choose a test spot on a representative panel.
2) Select the working pad:
Fit a compatible pad and backing plate appropriate for the panel. Avoid choosing an oversized pad for cramped or sharply curved areas.
3) Establish a test combination:
Start with a suitable medium or finishing polish and evaluate correction. Increase cut only where necessary.
4) Use steady overlapping passes:
Keep the pad level and allow the long throw to work, without excessive pressure. Watch for pad stalling around curved sections.
5) Check correction and refine:
Wipe away residue, inspect carefully and follow with a refining polish if the initial correction leaves haze.
Before use: Read the supplied operating instructions, use suitable eye protection, keep loose clothing clear of moving parts and avoid excessive pressure on edges. Disconnect power before fitting accessories.
