buffer/polishers

[Guy]

this is what everyone has been waiting for in the uk -  the meguiars 220v DA polisher - it arrived on the 12th Dec

ordering mine tomorrow!!! 

Guy, if it arrives in time, bring your new toy and pads along on the 28th. Will be interesting to see how it compares to a Porter Cable.

got it today!!!  chuffed is not the word!

i'd let me get the practice out of the way first

it's not... the paintwork needs renovating... has a few light scratches and it is swirl city which bugs the hell out of me... i want it as near as dammit perfect

plus the previous owner had paint stick rage so every panel has some on... that needs a professional like Cornish Pixie to wet n dry or use their magic on... i'm scared of getting paint wrong  :embarassed:

haven't used it yet... it was dark when i got home and I am not going to use it till I meet up with Cornish Pixie to teach me to use it properly... 

it's a pretty neat bit of kit though... sturdy and in it's own case... doesn't come with any pads though so you'll need to get them... i have those already so once i can use it with confidence i'll be flyin!

forgot to mention...

got mine from Alex and Alexandra the lovely guys who run Elite Car Care...

they have the Megs G220 in stock and can send it out for next working day delivery!!

mention me when ordering 

[Cornish Pixie]

was planning on it... was hoping you could instruct me on use before i stripped my clearcoat! 

I'm sure you will be amazed at the difference this will make to the way your car looks. While you are over at mine you can have a play with some Menzerna polishes (my preferred brand for corection work) and some Poorboys World compounds.

In terms of finishing the paintwork off, I have quite a large  stock of Swissvax here or a couple of different brands of sealant, either way you can have a play with wax and sealant to see which you prefer.

that sounds bloody brilliant!

Nope, welcome to the world of the pro detailer, its not like having a real job.

It will be interesting to see which compounds you prefer using. The Sonus range are also very good with a PC (I think I have got enough left for you to try)
