Full Description

The all new and improved this DAS6 V2 Dual Action Car Polisher is finally here, developed specifically for detailing, this light weight, powerful dual action polisher is quite possibly the perfect introductory dual action polisher.

Dual Action polishers are very popular with car enthusiasts and professionals a like as they are low risk but give much better results than polishing by hand. With a powerful 650w motor it is possible to removes scratches and swirl marks when used in conjunction with a machine polish. It is also a perfect for applying glazes, sealants and waxes. This machine unlike its rivals was built for use with 5" (125mm) pads in mind, so was counter-weighted at the factory with this in mind making it far smoother than many of it's rivals. Most dual actions are counter weighted for use with a 6" pad and plate, yet by far the most popular pad choice amongst detailers is 5" which really plays to this machines strengths.

The DAS 6 v2 Dual Action car Polisher comes supplied with a UK 240v plug, is fully CE marked and has the peace of mind of a 1 year manufacturers warranty. Improvements include a heavy duty 5 meter cable and a D-Handle. We are also including a canvas carry case with every machine, perfect for storing the machine and accessories whilst not in use. Also icluded are two 5" (130mm) pads, one polishing & one finishing, so you'll have something to use right out of the bag.

The DAS-6 v2 Car Polisher is an excellent choice for beginners looking to step up to machine polishing. It's light weight and versitility make it a product which should be found in every car enthusiasts garage.

Expert Notes

The DAS-6 V2 is a popular entry-level dual action machine polisher for car enthusiasts and detailers who want better results than hand polishing. The random orbital, free-spinning action makes it more forgiving than a rotary polisher, while still giving enough correction ability to remove swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation when paired with the correct pad and compound. The 9mm orbit works well for general paint correction, gloss enhancement, wax application and sealant application. It is counterweighted for 5 inch pad use, which is useful because 5 inch pads are usually easier to control and more effective on modern vehicle panels than larger pads. This is a proper machine polisher, so paint preparation, pad choice, polish choice and technique still matter.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Gloss paintwork
  • Clear coat
  • Machine polishable paint
  • Single stage gloss paint with testing
  • Painted metal panels
  • Painted plastic panels with care
  • Freshly corrected paintwork
  • Lightly oxidised gloss paint
  • Swirl-marked paintwork

Caution: Use on suitable gloss paintwork only. Do not machine polish matte paint, satin paint, textured plastics, rubber trim, unpainted plastics, vinyl wraps or PPF unless the pad, product and surface are specifically confirmed as suitable. Always test first, avoid sharp edges, check paint condition and do not polish hot panels.

How To Use

Before polishing

  1. Wash the vehicle thoroughly.
  2. Remove bonded contamination before machine polishing.
  3. Dry the paint completely.
  4. Inspect the paint under suitable lighting.
  5. Mask sensitive trims, badges, rubber and sharp edges.
  6. Choose a small test section before polishing the full vehicle.
  7. Select the correct pad and polish for the defect level.
  8. Make sure the panel is cool before polishing.

Machine setup

  1. Fit the correct backing plate for the pad size.
  2. Use the 125mm backing plate with suitable 5 inch pads.
  3. Use the 150mm backing plate with suitable 6 inch pads.
  4. Attach the pad centrally to the backing plate.
  5. Check the pad is secure before starting.
  6. Apply the chosen polish or compound to the pad.
  7. Spread the polish over the section before increasing speed.

Polishing process

  1. Start on a low speed to spread the polish.
  2. Increase speed as required for correction.
  3. Use slow overlapping passes.
  4. Keep the pad flat against the paint.
  5. Use controlled pressure without forcing the machine.
  6. Keep the machine moving to manage heat.
  7. Work one section at a time.
  8. Wipe residue with a clean microfibre towel.
  9. Inspect the finish before moving to the next section.

Finishing and protection

  1. Use a softer pad and finishing polish where extra gloss is needed.
  2. Clean polish residue from panel gaps and trim edges.
  3. Panel wipe if applying a ceramic coating afterwards.
  4. Apply wax, sealant or coating after final preparation.
  5. Clean pads after use.
  6. Store the machine, plates and pads in the carry case.

Top Tip: Start with a test section using the least aggressive pad and polish combination that gets the result. Step up only if the defects need more correction.

Performance Benefits

  • Removes swirl marks with correct polish

DAS-6 dual action polishers

DAS-6 V2. The DAS-6 V2 is the introductory machine: a 650W motor, a 9mm orbit and six speeds from 2,000 to 6,500rpm, about 1.75kg with a 5m cable. It comes with 125mm and 150mm backing plates, two 130mm foam pads, a D-handle and a carry case, and its counterweight is set for a 5in pad. Use it to polish paint and to apply glazes, sealants and waxes.

DAS-6 PRO V2. The DAS-6 PRO steps up to 900W for more low-end power, still with a 9mm orbit, at 2,500 to 6,500rpm and about 2.3kg, with a 6m cable and 125mm and 75mm plates. It adds a rubberised front grip, a counterweight shield, refreshed bearings and gearing, and carbon brushes you can change from outside; spares are the PRO replacement brushes.

DAS-6 PRO Plus. The PRO Plus is the long-throw machine: a 1,000W motor and a 15mm orbit, which DAS-6 sees as the optimum throw for covering more area and removing more swirls and scratches in less time.

DAS-6 Nano and pads

DAS-6 Nano and pads

DAS-6 Nano. The Nano is a cordless mini polisher for the finer details and the tight, hard-to-polish areas a full-size machine cannot reach. It takes 1.2in and 2in pads and comes with interchangeable heads for 3mm and 12mm dual action and a rotary head with an extension bar, plus two 2.5Ah batteries.

Nano pads. Replacement hook and loop pads cover every stage from cutting to finishing, in foam and microfibre: the 1in kit has 17 pads and the 2in kit has 8. They are the same pads supplied with the Nano and fit any nano machine made for 1in and 2in pads.

Which DAS-6. For a first machine, the V2. For more power on the same 9mm orbit, the PRO. For faster correction on big panels, the 15mm PRO Plus, and for small areas, add the Nano.
