[dickys3]

Just bought one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/woohoo.gif

Gonna get some meg's #83 and #80 and finish off with P21s..

I'm gonna:-

Wash with NXT
Dry
Clay
Meg's #83 with light cutting orange pad
Megs #80 with Polishing pad
P21's on by hand, off with PC.

Should look good!

would that be a polishing tool for the lazy amoungst us... think we need a link at the very least to show your new toy!

Errr... no link /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, but its the Dawgs Danglies...does a real fine job if done properly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.. I got one and what a finish it produces.. leaves no swirlies on the paint at all.. absolute Dawgs ...well pleased wif mine /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif

[easytease]

[god_thats_quick]

ps... we need pics when it's done dicky!

 

[28v6]

Errr... Yes thats the fellow, problem is its an American tool, therefore needs a 110v Transformer to operate, but It don't burn the paint and thats guaranteed.. Then you buy Sonus Polishing Bonnets and Hey Presto! Ultimate Mirror Finish and no Swirls.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile_smoking.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/groovy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif

I have one, its the greatest invention ever.

I love it!!!

 

[dickys3]

I'll take some nice pics when I have done the work...

You won't regret it bud... the biggest problem I had was finding enough time to do it all properly. If you have a garage with plenty of space you're laughing! Otherwise you might be better off waiting til spring when it's a bit warmer with more hours of daylight /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If I was you though, I'd put the wax on with the PC then remove it by hand. I found removing residue with the PC a pain in the ****.

And if you're going to do it all at this time of year, I'd put a layer of synthetic wax under the P21S... something like the Megs NXT stuff... if much more resistant to the elements.

Good luck! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
