Not sure if it'd work that well as a polisher but the Makita 18v DA sander has a 5" velcro pad and something like 5mm orbit. The Makita 18v li-ion batteries are brilliant. I doubt it'd be much good if you want heavy scratch removal etc but a 'normal' polish shouldn't be a problem. When sanding...

Love Reload, got another bottle on the way :) I use it pretty much every wash at 1:2, it's really not needed anywhere near as often as I use it but I love using it so why not?!

I find whenever I get smear issues it's because I've over applied the glass cleaner. 2 cloths are essential imo, I spent a long time trying to find a cleaner that could just be wiped on and be completely streak free but in the end I wasn't happy with any of them.

Haven't done a side by side but for my money it's Reload. Mainly because you can't beat reloads water behavior for me.

Ha, $4 a gallon We pay equivalent to $2 per Litre

Nice work. Great turnaround mate, your trucks are HUGE over there! Make ours look like toy trucks!

There's absolutely stacks of them popping up over here, none have come up to Iron x for me but the closest to it was Bilt Hamber Korrosol not sire if you can get it over the pond though? I'd still use Iron x if the car hasn't been done before or really bad but the BH is great for maintaining a car.

Bare timber always tends to 'furr up' when something goes on it unfortunately, hardwood is a pain because it has hard grain and soft grain, it's like having a really soft respray on part of a hard paint car but in strips of hard, soft, hard, soft etc. Best thing to do is make sure it's 100%...

My best mate :) Unfortunately that pic was on a lost poster on Friday morning. Safe and sound now though. Our for a run with his Uncle too

Welcome mate from.... Well just down the M5 lol

Happy birthday Mike, enjoy a nice cold one!

Interesting, few purchases I've regretted in there. Is fog fight the original or the new version? If it's the old version that everyone complained about I'd say it's only fair to put that.

Yep, I'm on DW. DDJ BTBM for some reason people just love wasting money over here, but notice 'AS G101' - why do people like it? Because it's cheap. I don't get it. And why they insist on using Iron X as a routine wheel cleaner I'll never know! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Not at all. A drying towel will do the same job but they just want to touch the paint as little as physically possible. you can use whatever you want for drying. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Looks fantastic, great write up too! Just a shame no one had come up with a tyre (sorry, tire on here) dressing that lasts as well as paint coatings... Something for the future though Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Being able to see orange peel is a sign of a very shiny car chap :) I've not used the carpro orange peel pads sorry Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

My personal way is to wash the car first then use an APC to clean the plastics/ rubbers then I use a MF cloth to apply my chosen protection. Only because I personally find it easier than with an applicator. If any gets on the bodywork then I just use a clean piece of the cloth to wipe it off...

Thanks :xyxthumbs: There's no reason why not but it's a lot of trust for you guys. I'll have a think if your serious.

Just sounds like vibration to me. Try gripping the machine harder. Also you maybe stopping the machine from spinning so its just vibrating back and forth, left and right. It's surprisingly easy to stop a DA/ RO from spinning so you could draw a single thick black line on the backing plate so...

Thanks for that :) IMO your not missing much, I think little to the coatings we have, don't use snowfoam, and out of that list of manufacturers I'd only recommend about 5 products. Of course I haven't used every single one. Perhaps our tarmac is softer than yours? Or perhaps we moan too much...
