Yeah, I think if he new where I lived, he'd come round and tap me one!! Still, I think I've put his mind at rest that I'm not quite as Gun Ho as it seems 
lol naa guys a top bloke he just gets frustrated like i do when people think using a rotory is an easy task, alot of people really dont realise how much damage these machines cause when used incorrectly and the wrong pad and polish combo.
a course is your best way to learn how to use these effectively without inflicting major damage to your motor.
guys just recently done one, and ive got 15yrs experience using these machines and trust me ive seen blokes making very bad errors with them, expensive ones too.
still practice on your scrap panel/bonnet but definatly look at doing a course as it will benefit you no end
