Why do you say skip the DP ?

Can anyone compare this to Optimum Opti Coat ?

Which of those two do you find to be better in terms of protection e.g scratching, beading and dirt repelling etc? I'm currently tossing up between Opti Gloss and DP

Happy for people to give recommendations on whats a good brand for pads and backing plate. :xyxthumbs: Sadly due to our small population we really do miss out on things down under.

Thanks for your help and advice ! I have been very much loving having the car coated with various Collinite waxes so should love the coating more. Can anyone recommend a coating ? AG seems to sell so many I have no clue which one to go for.

Has there been any news on when this will be released ?

Hello all, I have to decide which paint coating to get for my car but i'm struggling to figure out what the difference between all the brands are. The car is a silver Kia Optima. Something easy to apply and has top notch protection as it will be applied to a daily driver which isn't garaged...

The polisher is a Rockwell DA polisher Rockwell ShopSeries Car Polisher - Multi-Function, 180mm, 600 Watt - Supercheap Auto Australia Apparently it has a 5/16" thread for the backing plate. I'll contact them in AUS to see if they carry them. I'm not sure if I need a compound or can skip for a...

Thank you for the advice ! I'm struggling to find 5.5" pads so might have to stick with 6 or drop to 4" To be honest I cannot imagine Kia having really hard paint since its prone to rock chips.

That helps heaps thank you so much!!! I've found a good cheap polisher but the local reviews say it's under powered so I want to change the backing. To a 5" one. If i use a 5" backing plate does the pad be the same side or does it have to be bigger ? How do I know if I have to compound the...

Thanks i'll have a look at the pads ! I want to make my paint new flawless so can't do that with hand. To be honest i've found the silver colour really hides scratches but the paints looking a bit dull. Thank you so much for the advice ! Is it possible to get compound + pads for under $50 ?

Sorry I didn't mean it in a rude way at all ! I really do appreciate all the help i've received. I meant it more in a tongue and cheek manner. Once again sorry if It came across as rude

I would have to buy the polisher from Australia due to the voltage difference and cost of shipping due to the weight, but happy to buy the pads from AG. Hoping to just buy a pad kit to save cost. I currently have a bottle of Prima Amigo which I was lead to believe to be a polish like product...

I'm getting to excited at the thought of just being able to hit the car with the foam gun and hopefully have all the dirt come off and not have to sit there and hand wash it.

Sorry I meant good quality but cheap. Happy to spend $40 - 60 on a good set but the cheapest possible good set would be great. Thank you for the advice ! Looks like the DA system is only good for spot work. I would have the buy the DA here due to the 240Volt requirement and shipping being...

Is there any other way to do it ! :laughing:

I'm happy to spend a day doing it since i'm used to doing it by hand. The only concern was the cost. It's $120 for the DA system and $200+ in Australia for a complete DA package so a fairly big saving. If I can get 95% of the results for half the price i'm happy. Since it will only be used once...

I can buy a cheap DA for $100 but then i'd need to buy pads, compound etc. All up that would set me back nearly another $100. If anyone knows of a cheap Pad kit which includes compound that would be great. I already own Prima Amigo so don't need a polish.

I would love to but I'm really struggling to justify it. I live in Australia so for me to get a DA with all the pads I'm looking at $170 more over the meguiars.

Hello all, I'm looking for a DA polisher to prepare my cars paint. It will be a one off job and used maybe once or twice so don't want to spend a lot of money as a result. I came across the Meguiars DA power system which gets good reviews. The car is a Kia Optima bright silver and swirls...
