Hi I have a Simonize DA which is battery powered and has a 4" backing plate. Has anyone used this to detail a car. I have a Cable Porter DA as well but it might be handy to use the smaller Simonize one in tight spots without having to change the pads on the PC. I am wondering if there is any problems the the way the Simonize unit rotates that would be a problem with a delicate car finish This equipment is all left over from my boat maintenance days were the ultimate finish is not so important. Cheers Mobey
I've seen those Simonized DA's, they don't look bad but I wonder how they will hold up in the long run...as for using it on the surface of a vehicle can't really help you there because I've never used it before. As for the Porter Cable, you should be able to tackle any defects with the help of the Porter Cable, mind you it may take you some time but it can be done.
