Thanks Guys!!
Now only 8 more. If we get the 8 pretty quick, should we continue to 15?

Sep 9 2005, 01:17 PM

Assuming the price is in USD

I would be in for a SON-DASPOL-KIT.

Have you spoken to the Admin regarding using the actual GB system ??

GOLD members already get 10% discount on the stuff already iirc ??

Guys,

jonw440 is Jon Wilson - a very experienced detailer.

Jon is a one of Autopia's support people, and provides extensive support to our US LOC forums.

Think we should welcome Jon to LOCUK

And thank him for setting up this great group buy

Mr Morse

Sep 9 2005, 01:56 PM

That is a great deal Jon, shame I already have one!

I can recommended the PCP as easily the most useful detailing tool ever invented - it blows the phrase "can't polish a turd" right out the water!

Jiberjaber

Sep 9 2005, 02:35 PM

Now it is a bit more clear

Jon you should have introduced yourself a bit better, not many here actualy transgress to the USA side of the forums

Welcome over to the blighty side

So does the cost also include shipping?

Carry on for a reasonable period if there is a sensible chance of more discount I say.

Indeed I can vouch for the excellent delivery and reasonable value also

Mr Morse

Sep 9 2005, 06:48 PM

But don't forget that you'll also need to spend another £40-£50 on a 110v transformer, extension cable, 110v plugs.

Still whacking value though, based on the results!

Stupid question!!

I assume the Son-Daspol-Kit comes with the PC?

I know !!! I just wanted it confirmed before I say yes to it.

Could somebody confirm my stupid question?

Anees

IS this available in the UK as a UK voltage item? Or is there something very much like it available in UK voltage?

Mr Singh

Sep 10 2005, 09:51 AM

You will need Transformer mate.

Most rotary buffers/polishers do..

aido

Sep 10 2005, 09:52 AM

They're not available in the UK mate, Chris (The Don) once mentioned you can get similar things from bodyshop suppliers but not from Porter Cable....

Chris may be able to comment, but to be honest I just bought one as I could see it was well tried and tested across the internet so I knew I would be able to find a lot of advice for particular scenarios etc...

You have to cut the plug off it when it comes and rewire it into the 110V plug but I managed it and believe me that is saying something

Mr Morse

Sep 10 2005, 09:54 AM

You can buy the additional bits n pieces thru Screwfix:

Part No Description Qty Price GBP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

73851 750VA Portable Power Tool Transform 1 34.99

16691 110V 14 Metre Lead 16 A 1 9.95

19947 110V Accessories Plug 1 1.20

Bazza

Sep 10 2005, 10:56 AM

it is far safer to use any machine via a transformer, especially outdoors

240v and water dont mix very well

the conditions that the polishers are used in are not electrickery friendly

jonw440

Sep 10 2005, 01:07 PM

To use the PC 7424 in the UK you will need the following.

A] 110 volt transformer
B] 110 volt extension lead - the length will depend on the distance you need to cover. 14 metres is standard but longer leads are available or you can use two 14 metre cables
C] A 110 volt accessories plug

You can order these times from www.screwfix.com and they will cost you about £65 in total. Alternatively you can pop along to your local builder's merchant and get the same items for a similar amount. Just tell the guy you're running a 110 volt power tool and he'll know the rest. I don't know if Jewson or Travis Perkins are in your neck of the woods but they will stock them.

You can put me down for a SON-DASPOL-KIT too!

I've been looking but I'm yet to take the plunge.

The main reason for it being a 110V kit is probably because it's industrial and running tools off of 110V is deemed safer. Also it means you can run it on Ex rated sockets etc. Handy for an industrail environment.

Sep 15 2005, 08:26 PM

Here are a few pictures showing what the proper tools and products can achieve.
The Porter Cable 7424 SFX and DAS pads.
All three Sonus SFX polishes.

This Black Durango was scratched on purpose to see how the SFX polishes work.(Yes its my Wifes Black Dodge Durango and NO she doesn't know I scratched it with a plastic pool brush she would KILL me

)
I used the SFX Yellow pad with the SFX-1 Restore polish, the Green DAS pad with SFX-2 Enhance Polish and the Blue DAS pad with the SFX-3 final finish polish.

Enjoy!

These two pictures are from her Black Grand Prix she owned before the Black Durango...She Loves black vehicels.

The differance is the pads.
The DAS pad kit is a great " starter" kit.The pads are soft and flexable. They are really useful on cars with cuirves.
The SFX kit pads are a bit more firm.

I see most people are going for the DAS Kit which you can get 10% off but jon has PM'd saying you can get 20% off the SFX Kit!!!!!!
Which would anybody advise would be the better to go with, the starter and softer DAS Kit or save a bit extra and opt for the SFX Kit????

Webby

Mr Morse

Sep 28 2005, 09:08 AM

The SFX pads are designed for use with the restorative SFX products, i.e. for restoring badly faded or oxidised paintwork.

For polishing paintwork that is already in reasonable condition the DAS pads are the better option and easier to use due to their flexability.

I changed my mind and took the extra discount changing to the SFX kit. Jon advised that the difference in the pads was not too great so I thought "why not". You can of course buy the DAS pads or kit seperately and Autopia have a franchise in the UK where you can also buy the Porter machine complete with transformer etc. Here is the link:

Yes they are much more expensive on a lot of the stuff but if you only need one or two items then it can be just as cheap because of the minimum carriage charge from the USA. There is only a big difference of course if we are not charged any duty or VAT which is not guaranteed. The Polishing company always has to. I too got my kit in six days including a weekend and I will use Autopia in the future for all largeish orders.
