Best DA Polisher/reviews

[dub singh]

In the market for a new DA polisher as a hand job just isn't cutting it no more. Bit of a novice to detailing and will be using it occasionally. Done a bit of research and three particular DA polishers keep cropping up.. DAS-6-pro, Megs G220 V2 and the Dodo Juice Buff daddy.


Anyone have any experience with any of them? Any pros or cons?


Cheers in advance

IMO all the same and I would go for the one with the best bundle offer TBH.

I have a G220v1 FWIW and it has lasted me 3 years.

I got the DAS6 pro from Polished Bliss for my birthday - not used yet but seems to get good reviews. As Stealthwolf says, they do all seem much for much to be honest. I got the Hard Paint kit as well.

Juicy Detailing are selling the Dodo Juice Buff Daddy DA as well - seems a decent price.

I think I read somewhere that the dodo juice buff daddy is a das 6 but its £5 more,
I think I'd go for the meguires or das 6 pro, but as said check out the deals on the bundle packs and check out where the best savings lie

I would guess that they're all churned out in the same Chinese factory and just badged differently.

I could be talking sh1t though.

Bought the Megs Microfibre system last year from Clean your Car, came with cutting compound and finishing polish. Spent a long time on the phone discussing my needs. Very helpful. The pads do not stand up to a washing machine wash, they just fall apart  Used it only a hand full of times, had good results so far.

Get yourself over to Waxstock this year. Theres always a chance to get your hands on one and lots of demo's too. You'll probably get a good discount as well whilst your there.

It's not nearly as scary as everyone says it is.

You put polishing pads in the washing machine!?!?!

My Meguiars one has constantly needed new brushes! which Megs can't supply... maybe why they went to a v2.

Sorry to hi jack but this thread is just what I was going to start.

I'm looking to start on my own detailing, and am looking at this kit on eBay

How often have you been using the polisher? Mine's a V1 hence the question.
