Location: Birmingham		Tbh a DA like mine is better for people new to machine polishing as Rotaries can be freaken ruthless in the wrong hands

You can get a Kestral DA for less than £100, which i would rather use first.

Also dont get G3, there are far better products out there that will get you better results, but it all depends how much you want to achieve

Location: Birmingham		Yep thats the one.

Youll need a clay kit (doesnt really matter which brand too much as most are made at the same factory apparently) and some tar remover (Autosmart Tardis is good but bloody strong - dont use it on unlaquered paint )

As for polish, Menzerna are good, Megs Ultimate Compound, #80 & #83 are both good, theres quite alot to choose from but id stay stick with a good brand and you cant go wrong.

Id look for a polisher with polish and pads deal as itll be cheaper than buying all separately
