de swirling prices
I don't have a duel action polisher (and i assume the cheap buffers you can get are crap?). So, how much are we talking to get a saxo de swirled? Just after an idea on pricing.

For someone to do it for you, or for you to buy the kit and do it yourself?

its not idiot proof, but its not really hard.
Would probably pay around £100 for a detailer to go over it i would have thought.

You cant really bugger it up unless you're a full blown retard.

You can burn through the lacquer on edges if you're not careful. Edges being like the bumpers etc. Would take a bit more to burn through on the doors or bonnet though

I've sat on the same spot for a few minutes on a test panel to see what happens and my pad died before it got close to burning the paint.
With a D/A it's idiot proof

Yay to idiot proof! So, cheapest place to get one of these? It'll get used annually, so cheapest going. I assume you can't hire them?

I got my DAS6 from Cleanyourcar.co.uk but I do regret not getting the DAS6-Pro for the 5 metre length cable so that's worth considering.
Also it would probably be best to buy one of the deals including various pads/polishes to save a bit of money.
