  • First go with my new polisher!

    Picked up a Porter Cable on Friday, this morning I have finally had my first go with it (after patiently waiting all weekend for the rain to go!)

    Obviously lots more to learn yet, but Im quite pleased with the first results

    Only had time to do the bonnet so far...

    50/50:



    Finished:



    There are still some swirls, but Ive got rid of a lot of them, so its a good start

    More pics to come later in the week as I try to get the rest done while dodging the rain

                          Not sure what the pad is, the lad I got it off gave me it saying it was suitable for the hard Audi paint, polish was the same as Steve used on my blue one: Menzerna PO85RD 3.02
