I am a newbie and planning to buy my first polisher and I am between the followings:
DAS-6 PRO PLUS
DAS-6 Pro
Forced 3401
DAL-21
Which one should I buy for a basic car paint restoration?
Thank in advanced!
Since you mention DAS machines..i'm going to assume you're not in the US...so Id wait for the Makita PO6000c to hit the market if you want a smooth forced rotating D/A. id imagine the das pro plus is 21mm? if you need a machine today..id prob go with that

I am between the uppers. 3401 seems better, right?
if you get the 4" lake country changeable backing plate for the flex 3401 you will be able to use 4" pads. it comes stock with a 5.5" backing plate on the polisher which will work with 6.5" pads unless the 5.5" pads have the velcro extended to the edge, otherwise use the 4.5" backing plate listed below. keep in mind you will need to purchase both these backing plates as well...

I liked the Lake Country Hydrotech on my 3401. A LOT of 3401 fans like the hybrid/force pads.

But... what color? Will the orange one remove the swirls from a soft paint?
I could get the 3-pack if i find it anywhere here (and is not expensive too).
Also I am reading that LK Hydrotech is for water-based polishes. Is Meguiar's Ultimate Compound water based? I can't find anywhere
Griots is a great first polisher for anyone. Bang for buck and lifetime warranty, they have great customer service. My on/off switch failed and I had a new one in 4 days for free. I bought a BOSS for my Dad and he is in love. I'd go Griots myself, I have no experience with those you mentioned.
