Andy you a polishing freak only joking tho, as it's good to see someone enjoying doing it.  i for 1 hate polishing a car

cerbera will tell you about a guy just along the street from him cleanining the snow of his new car with a household brush we were having a laugh that you'd be cringing and possibly give hima slap for doing it.

LOL what a fool, but tbh if everyone cleaned their cars properly there wouldnt be any work for the Pro Detailers which would be a bad thing

Its really quite fun with a machine as you get to see propper results straight away

Love how darker cars look when detailed, just makes them look so, so much deeper!

Yeah alot of people have had problems with brinkmans

There's a new DA available called the Kestral which is like £80 but not sure how good it is yet as its pretty new to the scene

But the customer service at Megs is second to non, they are all really nice guys n gals

Kestral make Spray guns.... cheap and do the job..... just not a lifetime investment

Not quite detailing but heres a bumper I painted with rattlecans, I am going to polish it again once its on the owners car as I was getting pissed off with it moving about, so at the moment its only got 4 layers of laquer, 1500'd and polished back up with g3 to then be waxed with some random crap I had laying around that was a bitch to get off but left an alright finish :|





In the 2nd picture the dirt is on the bulb not the bumper

Had a practice with the Meguiars polisher this week, just cutted the roof and bonnet for now, still got the rest of the car to do and then polish it but not a bad start, and I'm really impressed with the polisher I must say

Nice job with cans there, out of interest do you have a pic of how the lacquer looked before polishing?

Not quite, as pandy said its ye ol' P LON(100GTvi), I've got it for its yearly overhaul and extra's, been driving it about and it has been making me miss not having a tro anymore, just got to get all my other projects finished before I get a new tro.

Back on the subject I will be giving the Tahiti MGF a going over tomorrow so it should be all sparkly like yours pandy in the pics, but also it would look gd in person as there's no rust
