Pretty good deal that unless I'm missing something

few points

-its a compact size so will be light and easy to use..

- not sure about the warranty period ..

" variable adjustment 2500 up to 6800 r.p.m. guarantees perfect polishing performance."

- 2500 too high imo

personally I would recommend known brands like hitachi , bosch or dewalt

and one more point, after some time you will need to change its oil , so neds to be phsyically examined

gotta agree with Cem 2500 rpm as a minimum speed is too fast & will burn paintwork in no time, i mop 2k clear at about 1000-1500 rpm with g3, lube with plenty of water

Have heard good things about DAS-6 Pro and they are 2,500 - 6,500 rpm

And the Meguiars Dual Action Polisher Version 2 isn't far off at 1,800 - 6,800 rpm

What to do what to do 

I could get the machine in the original #1 for around £80 with all the pads like this Link

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Is the Omega pearlescent paint hard or soft paint (this is presuming its on its factory original paint) ?

[aaronjb]

I suspect Cem & Razzo are talking about rotary polishers (I doubt anyone would mop a car with a DA) rather than a 'dual action' or 'orbital' polisher..

I've used a DAS-6 with good results, the one in the link looks like it would be a lot heavier, though (basically a 4" grinder with a different gearbox, I suspect)..

That would make sense 

Would you say for around £80 with all those pads etc. its not a bad deal ? Can't really take much more of polishing by hand...

I'm currently watching this one Link

never seen an original factory painted pearlescent omega
 
but in any case it must be metallic paint with laquer..

 etc etc
 
but these are opm (-random- oscillations per minute) so definitely different unit.. 
 
however I can say that high speeds even oscillations not recommended during polishing as it will build up heat
