So, got a machine polisher for my birthday and had a bit of a go yesterday. To be honest it was freezing cold so I only spent a couple of hours. A quick scratch repair with G4 paste before using some auto glym paint restorer. Then a hand polish with auto glym deep shine.

Then it snowed. Standard.

Good work - it looks brilliant!

Good job 

Looks fantastic. Always been scared to use machine polisher myself. Always left it to the experts!!

Look good what machine ave you got?

i was a bit scared myself but kept it on low speeds and had a practice on next doors van first. it worked great on a couple of scratches and has made the paintwork look new. i think it requires more skill on darker colours that are prone to visible swirling.

It worked a treat on the headlamps and my next step will be to wet and dry sand them, before polishing back (to remove any stone pits)

its a clarke polisher bought from machine mart for £82. need to buy a few polishing bonnets now.

does anyone know my colour? is it 'space grey'?

Great job if you want some more practice you can certainly do mine .

Has next door's van now got a new paint style - Ford Swirly Steel Grey?

Nice job on the E 70 though.

Haha, he's not bothered about his van which has never been washed.i did half the bonnet and one headlamp to try it out. I quickly realised that I could take it easy and not do any damage if I chose to. It has a soft start which helps to feed the power to the pad.

Good job. Looks sweet...
