    Stupid question?

    Thanks for that. I'm not being ignorant i just love a challenge and will feel much happier if i can nail the rotary. I can afford to go wrong with the car i will be working on its no big deal.

    Hey tato I appreciate what you have said 100% I've literally only been into detailing about 4 weeks. Prior to that I'd just walk outside with my bucket of 99p wash and wax and 50p sponge and start scrubbing away at all the grit. And no way would I have had a shot like that before. Your post was...
