Spike, take stijoy's words of warning seriously about the polisher, I have one and like you thought great tool, until I looked at the rubbers around the windows and I had burnt them and try polishing them out, a right job mate. The polisher went flying into the corner of the garage. It did come in handy though, when I had to plane and sand the bathroom floor down to fit the new shower tray that we bought. Mick C.

I always use a couple of old hand towels to dry off the car,they work a treat never get any water marks,and always use a wash mitt to wash the car instead of a sponge as sponges can hold grit and scratch the paintwork.

and when the car starts going grey you know you have f*cked up :toofunny: :toofunny: :toofunny:


why grey? polish by hand,apply wax by hand!!! polish up wax by polisher thingy???


:nono: always polish up by hand and in the direction of the panel (linear movement) !

It's probably the hard water leaving the marks. You might want to use a hose end that has a filter to take all the cr@p out of the water.

I use a thing called Flash car wash. Works quite well.
