Its no use buying the flex from US as its easily available in India and close to the US price. Plus theres service and after sales support also. And warranty too.
Torque curve Id suggest you buy the machine from India but get the pads and other kits from the US where its cheaper.
Most US machines will require a step down transformer to work in India. If you have no problem with that and also no issues with not getting warranty, then you can get G110v2 or the G220.
You can also try DAS6. Try the DAS6 pro. Good price and almost like the G220. I think one BHPian has this machine.
And if you are buying machine from US get the spare parts set also so that you can service it yourself when you have any problems. As spares are hard to come by here.
Also id suggest you rather buy products that are not available in India. Swirl removers compounds etc are all available here at good prices. You can rather get the cutting pad and finishing pad and also get sealants which are very cheap out there. So maybe you can carry down a few bottles of sealants to last you long enough. And also get good microfiber towels also.
And dont go by Autogeek prices. I was checking out Amazon today. Most of the stuff is priced lesser than autogeek which was a surprise for me.
Hope this helps. Quote:

It came with 5.5" and 6.5" backing plates ad I bought some pads also from them, mainly Lake county and 3M pads. Their site gives valuable information on detailing including information on different pads.
So far, I have used the Kestrel only twice and quite pleased with it. You can see the result below |
Which version of the DAS6 is this? The pro one? How long did shipping take? Also was the price tag includimg customs? Also can you tel how much did it cost you for the pads?
This is a very good deal if it comes with backing plates. Wow.
How is the swirl removal with this machine? And can you run it continously from start to finish of polishing the entire car?
Thats a very well maintained finish i must say. : Quote:

1. can be used with any existing drilling machine
2. Can be used with battery operated drilling machines too
Yay !!
check it out and I am planning to go for it. Let me see how useful it is and post my review right after using it..
If there are BHPians who have tried them already appreciate if you can post a short and quick review

One BHPian already has this. I think It was SunnyBoi. You can go back a few pages where he has detailed his yellow palio with that machine. Looks good. Also he had listed out whatever attachments he had bought with the machine. SO that might help you.
