    $150


    Detail Depot had them at $299


    Has been a great tool to work with but have moved onto a much better polisher, I would keep it as a spare but don't really have the space.


    The Kestrel DAS-6 "Power +" Dual Action Polisher.

    Kestrel have built on the success of the DAS-6 polisher and come back with the DAS-6 Power+, the same great formula as before but now with a more powerful motor, longer lead and even quieter than before.

    'Dual Action' machine polishers are low risk and produce far superior results compared to hand polishing.

    Ideal for removing swirls and minor scratches as well as applying glazes, sealants and waxes.

    Fully compatible with backing plates and pads available for the Meguiars G220 units as all units share the same orbit thread size of 5/16" x 24.


    Features:

    Powerful 850w motor

    Removable D Handle

    8mm Orbit

    Variable Speed Dial

    6 speed settings

    5" Backing Plate

    6" Backing Plate

    4 meter heavy duty cable

    Fits 5", 6", 6.5" & 7" pads

    5/16 thread - same as Meguiars G220

    CNC Machined Gears

    Wrench & Manual


  2. How is the leather stuff? Just it rejuvenate much?

    Also, make fellow cleaners feel better and please give us a time estimate to complete ? Pics look sick brother

    Well, after using Meguiars, Auto Glym and Mothers leather cleaner and conditioner.

    Meguiars - quite a greasy feel

    Auto Glym - had to apply a few layers, was smooth after 3rd layer

    Mothers - wasn't to bad, but felt a bit dry

    They were all tested on my MK5 Golf R32.

    The Chemical guys was fast, effective and no greasy residue.

    Estimate time would be from wash to final buff off the wax; 6-7hours with half hour break.

    Chemical Guys Clay Bar - To remove all contaminates that can't be seen by the naked eye, but can be felt by gliding your fingers over the top of the surface of the car, it'll feel very rough and not smooth at all.

  4. :D Hi there Tim. Welcome to the site!! Nice car there, & great photos - someone is skilled on a camera. Although its not a BMW you've got, I can think of far worse things that a R32 Dub to rock around in........ ;) I like it - looks tweaked a bit maybe?? Cheers.

    Ha not that skilled. Still learning. Yep have done a fair bit of mods to the R32. Can't handle having a standard car.... My friends think i'm a bit mad at times.

    Is that photo taken at The Hub in Seaview?

    Welcome to Bimmersport!

    Yep thats the one! Was really nice of them to let us use it in the middle of the week night. Great lighting for shooting cars.

    Very cool - loving the ride height! That Scirocco in the last pic stirs my loins.

    haha, yeah that Rocco is very sweeeet. Full spec as well!

    welcome! check out the wtgn meets forum if you are keen to join in any events.

    Definitely will try and make it to one of the meets!


  5. G'day,

    Names Tim and I don't own a BMW! I know! Shocking isn't it?!

    But have always been a very big fan of BMW's and maybe some day I will own a E60 M5!

    This is my daily

    As you can see I'm very heavily involved with the VW's, but I also have a Honda Integra Race car...... unfortunately no good photos of it yet as it's still in it's project phase.

    I'll just be that guy poking through threads and adding my 2 cents here and there :)
