That will do for me. I'm sold.  :smiley:

I said wow earlier to the G220 for £125, I didnt realise it was £129 brand new. So they defo hold their price well.

Seems on that detailing world site there's a guy that gives group lessons with the G220, think I'll benefit from it if I grab one ?

Yeah thats what i mean, you cant lose if you get one and look after it!

Davek i think, yeah. I dont think so really with the dual action, maybe a rotary as you can do damage with one of those. You would be better off get a nice scrap panel from a breakers, scratch it up and teach yourself as you need to feel it and pick up things on your own. Took me a year to get perfect with mine mate working on various paints an learning best pad/polish combos.

Thats a really good idea, think I'll do that.

Should I buy the pads etc on their own and that polish you recommended or buy one of the G220 kits ?

You will save money with the kit mate so probably best going for that!

Good plan, although if it was me I'd hide in the boot and wait for someone to dent it so I could catch them and slap them up a bit.  :grin:
