No rescue needed by the sound of it! Excellent work though as stated Guy. One question mate, how do you do the door handle recesses?  I'd like to have a go on mine, they're shocking!

Ahhh right, thanks mate. Wasn't sure if I should risk it with the machine even with a small pad, but will give it a go now. Thanks again.  :smiley:

you have to watch the edges of the small pads.. much easier to catch against paintwork or plastics

also as the working area is smaller the propensity for burn through is increased, especially on plastics
