Hi Guys,

I'm going to invest in a Kestrel Das-6 Orbital Polisher...however, there are a few different packages out there, with different types of polishes included...
I'd like to get the complete package, with everything i need included, but will buy separately if required. Just confused about what polishes/pack to go for??
Does what type of paint you have, as well as the colour matter, when looking at polishes and cleaners etc etc? Or does it depend on what you want to achieve..?

Thanks
Pal

Hi mate,

If it's to refresh the brilliant red in the sig then I would suggest Menzerna.

I've just bought this sample kit, it contains 4 x 250ml bottles, plenty to do several cars.

Different grades of cutting and polishing, you need to ensure your pad is also the correct version, I bought the Green Hex Logic and White Lake Coutry, I'm hoping this will sort out my brilliant red cab paint which has a few swirls and holograms.

I'm no expert, I just took the advice from detailingworld forum.

I do find Menzerna works best on my paint too.
