small rant at the weather!
cleaned my car today went and got a clay bar kit started claying went well washed it off dried it all thought oo instead of hand polishing i will go and get the machine out(got it as an xmas present but have not used it yet) spent time masking up and sorting the polisher started polishing really light compound really light cut pad and just as i finished my first pass was taking off the residue and it started spitting!
really pissed off had to put it in the garage (is big enough for car but not to polish in)
cant believe it wil have to wait till tomorrow now as i have work soon!
p.s. james i think i need to borrow your workshop  hahahaha
