Spot on Gareth.... I've had the day on mine as well and still have a lot to do for next weekend, fingers crossed for some kind weather this week coming so I'm able to finish off.

You will never achieve that level of finish by hand, good to see another polishing machine owner out there !

Any tips for dealing with peeling lacquer, and potted roof strips. I'm thinking full respray and then some carbon vinyl on the black trim and then I might be nearly as clean as you 2

Nice one Mr Jarvis, cars looking stunning. Think its time for that visit to the hairdressers too, looking a bit Darius there.
