The Meguiars one is also highley rated.

Not as powerful as the DAS6 pro and over twice the amount.

Would I be right in saying the meguiars one is just a rebranded version of the basic DAS-6? I think the Kestrel one is.

I don't think so but I'm not exactly right. There are differences between the DAS6 and the Megs - The megs is slightly smoother and a bit lighter but still... over twice the price?

You're probably correct there. It must be the Kestrel i'm thinking of.

I guess with the meguiars one you're mainly paying for the brand...

DA'd my car today - can't resist a cheeky 50/50 pic!

I like the CG pads.
I have 2 white, black and orange ones.
I need to buy some green ones and will probably buy one more of each other type so I have plenty.

Green is a heavy-polishing pad I would personally always finish on a white pad as the green pads are a more aggressive.

Looking at taking the dive at the end if the month, think I'm set on the das 6 pro especially with this promo code

I hear the chemical guys pads are mustard and from what I've been told scholl s17+ for initial cut and s40 for crisp polishing

Any one heard or had experience with this?
