Kestral DAS6, Meguiars G220 are decent entry level DA polishers
Kestrel SIM 180, or a Silverline silverstorm are the most common entry level rotarys, IMO the Kestrel is the better of the 2, but both are very similar
Prices vary from different places, best just to have a search about, and theres always plenty pop up 2nd hand on www.detailingworld.co.uk, especially the DAs as people progress and upgrade to rotary
Alot of people start of with a DA, theyre alot safer as harder to burn through, however, if you want to achieve serious paint correction, then a rotary is the way to go. I never bothered with a DA, I went straight to rotary when I first started out. I actually bought a Kestrel SIM 180 myself as my first polisher, then I upgraded to a makita, wasnt cheap, but Ive had it about 8 years now, and its had very heavy use and its never flackered, very smooth, quiet polisher. Think I paid 190 for my makita, but that was on sale, shoulda been closer to 300. I run mine with a 3m backing plate, and im quite fond of the meguiars pads. I like the 3m polish range too
