Do you want a G220 style dual action one or are you willing to consider a full on fire breathing rotary too? If it's the dual action you want there is the "Kestrel DAS-6" which comes in at about £80.

JamieP Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Kestrel sounds more like what i want to spend, the fire breathing rotary sounds like a bit much for a novice like me. Where is the best place to buy? just looked it up on ebay but cant find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 If it's the dual action you want there is the "Kestrel DAS-6" which comes in at about £80. Given all the troubles surrounding the G220 I'd go for the Kestral myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 It's a nice kit he's put together and the #83 and #80 works really well on black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 kestral definetly seems to be the one to go with at the mo. But, touch wood, i havent had any issues with my second G220 and meguiars do have very good service, had a replacement within 2 days. Machine polishing is good fun, rewarding and very addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 me, but i may be a bit on the expensive side lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Actually I'm after one of these too and was also wondering which is the best one. Spoke to a guy at a local car shop and he was recomending one from draper but not sure if it's much good. Click Page 95 in the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 cant comment on the machine JP , mine are PC and metabo , but the rest of the kit is good quality , you might need a few more pads and a smaller set for the tighter areas but they arnt expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
