You can find cheap DA as per my compilation of price list as per link below, as low as RM 480 for 8mm DA. Took a whole month to compile during my free time  biggrin.gif

There isn't any 'cheap' DA at Jln Pasar, maybe rotary buffer / random orbital. DA usually sold by detailer shop or importer. If you are looking for value for money 21mm orbit (bigger throw), you can pm me.

Dang, price like that turn off for me.
Wanna learn on rotary seem a bit scary for me though sad.gif

Actually, it's not as scary as people made it sounds like....all you need it just somebody to guide you and a test panel. When I first started, my guide was youtube and my test panel was my in-laws neglected Nissan 120Y.... tongue.gif

Ahh, right now my plan is to buy Skil brand.
But I haven't made my mind on the compound, which feel like
My test panel is gonna be my car roof, since I park outside and under a tree.
The aim for me is relatively cheap/budget detailing.

Any recommended DA for beginners? Corded or cordless that can do paint enhancement.

Depends on your budget.

I just recently started doing my own detailing.
Bought a okatz DA (rm250+), IMHO, didn't feel like investing too much but it works for me.
Just hands do feel numbs after a few hours usage. (Either I'm not used to it or the DA).
Not much to complain for it price point.

Then just buy the pads and compound/polish.

Did you have trouble buying necessary pads which needed to be 6"? Or did you change the backing plate to 5"? Is the vibration tolerable? I'm also thinking of buying okatz or spta.

Still using 6" backing plate, pads i found on shopee which is 6" maroon and black hex foam pads.
The vibration is not that bad, but I can't compare to others as I never use any other brands.
I only noticed my hands are numb-ish after a few hours of usage and stop to take a break.
