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 :y

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

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 (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=23773X825974&site=detailingworld.co.uk&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FDUAL-ACTION-ECCENTRIC-EXCENTRIC-ROTATION-CAR-POLISHER-ELECTRIC-Set-2-710-W-%2F360720285364%3Fpt%3DUK_Car_Accessories_Car_Care_Cleaning%26hash%3Ditem53fc9abeb4&xguid=8e0752f91a02d4f37ee58c56c34b09c5&xcreo=0&sref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.detailingworld.co.uk%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D316359&pref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.detailingworld.co.uk%2Fforum%2Fsubscription.php)

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

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  :y

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 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360720879473?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649)

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

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
