Hey guys I bought a das6 begining of the month I have some poor boys ssr2.5 black hole amd exp-s seleant and other veriouse bits I've picked up over the years. Just wondering how to do a proper swirl removal and paint correction. I'm guessing it's ssr black hole then seleant and the wax with the right pads and products

Get a cheap bonnet or something from a scrap yard to practice on if you're worried.

With that setup sir sounds promising, never used it before so can't say what it's like. Black hole it more of a glaze, a bit of a deep filler for swirls, people will use it to cover them up but it does give an amazing deep shine. It works well on performance blue and funnily enough well on red!

Use black hole after ssr if you want to, then wax straight after that you don't need to do any more!

I need to fully correct mine again at some point as its got light scratches all over upset flip knows how but the swirls are low.
All i'll do is fully correct then wax nothing else needed happy

I've found the pro version of that polisher. I need to paint correct my rs

Can someone point me in the right direction of pads and the correct "light" cutting compound to get rid of these (nothing drastic).

I wouldn't recommend a rotary to anyone who's never used a machine polisher before.

Not unless they wanted paint taking off

This is exactly what I don't want to happen. I just want to be able to 'smarten' it up and reduce the swirls... not strip the paint down.
