paint correction

This is potential can of worms. Whatever you buy go for something that oscillates as opposed to a rotary, get one with a variable speed, and of course, practise on something before you launch into your own car (unless you really don't give a monkeys)
I would spray the panel with water first and the pad too, to reduce the cutting effect of the compound and don't use too much material (M105) as it will spray everywhere unless you are careful.
There is so much info in the two areas I suggested in my first post that you really should read some of that first.

- 'Buffers' are normally only designed to remove polish and wax. Removing swirls will be done in the application process when you work your compound NOT when you remove it. Hope this helps

Perfect choice Personally I wouldn't touch any form of cutting papers until you are more confident and there is no way that I would start with 500!!! The scope to make things worse is just too big, and why take the risk when you don't need to?GruntyDC5 said:
I'm having a bash at this as well.
I have ordered the DAS6 pro. Longer cable and better motor in it I beleive. My old mans scabby work van is going to be my tester before I start on my own car.
Having learned a lot from a detailer and watched some good online videos I bought a DAS-6 and various graded pads and some compounds.I have ordered the DAS6 pro. Longer cable and better motor in it I beleive. My old mans scabby work van is going to be my tester before I start on my own car.
Mother's snotter of a Ka was the test bed before moving onto a 407 which had been cleaned with a pan scourer...18 hours of work later it was looking lovely, not a professional finish as I'm not trained but certainly good enough for nobody without an exceptionally keen eye to spot there had ever been anything wrong with it.
Start slowly and gently build as you go. It's most satisfying
