If you don't mind. What are the backing pads to change to?
Thinking of getting one to gain a few brownie points by polishing the missus car.
I don't know what the new guild one comes with,. it looks smaller, maybe 5" which would do or, if you are doing a curved car or a bike, you could go for smaller backing pad. I only have a big old makita rotary polisher so no experience of DA except air ones for sanding bodywork. I generally prefer the ones with the soft tapering edge but it's a matter of individual preference
BTW Lake country foam pads are still available from slim's detailing https://www.slimsdetailing.co.uk/polishing/polishing-pads/manufacturer/lake-country 10% off with first order
They also stock the Slim2s Das 6 (not v2) which might be worth considering if you get the 10% off
