As long as you use a DA and not a rotary, you’ll be fine.
Buy some Angelwax Resurrect, a cheap DA polisher and some microfibre pads and you’ll be loving life I promise you.
That Halfords polisher is a pile of poo, don’t waste your money.
The scuttle drains block up and water can get in to the cabin.
But honestly, it’s just poorly made and the solder joins crack. A decent repair man (like @Brigsy pointed to) will have it as good as new in 24h. Be reet. 👌🏽
The UCH tends to pack up slowly. So it gives you little warnings before it fails properly.
I suspect this is what’s happening here.
Have you given it a whack? A swift clump usually makes it work properly for a few days. 😂
I genuinely don’t get it with the 172/182. I understand the standard shite. But you can’t get a more modern car that drives as well as a 1*2.
Show me another car for less than £3/4k that has half leather, air con, traction control, cruise control, and can go round corners on 3 wheels allllll...
You’ve both commented next to one another, this is like some sort of Hadron Collider.
I just need that Leeds boy to comment now and my brain will actually explode.
6 inch mate. But I’m about to order some 5 inch for the smaller panels. The 6 is brilliant for bonnet and roofs but for everything else it’s a hindrance and a smaller pad is easier.
That may change with a bit of practice I’m sure, but I’m not there yet.
Christ Kev, only had it half a day calm doon.
Only used the white pad with some old Menz 2500 as my polishes are coming Friday.
Yellow Rupes pad, blue Rupes pad, yellow polish and blue polish, and a load of Megs Microfibre pads.
Got it all from James at Ti22.
Finally got myself a mk3 Rupes 21 polisher.
Ho-Lee-sheet where have you been all my life??
I can literally polish a whole car in under 2 hours now. What a machine!
No ‘after’ pics just yet. I’m off tomorrow for a funeral so here is some action shots…
Will be finished Friday pm, collected Saturday morning. Just need to dehumidifier to not trip out tonight or I’m fucked. 😂😂
I hope you answered the phone you horrible b*****d. 😂😂
What if he was in the petrol station and couldn’t figure out how to open the fuel cap or something?? Poor fucker.
That’s my point though. Tell them you’ll charge them an admin fee if they don’t pay by bank transfer. They will always pay by bank transfer.
“The admin fee is nothing to do with the card fee’s sir, it’s simply to cover our admin. If you pay by transfer, we have no admin so we’ll pass the saving...
Whenever a customer wants to pay on a credit card I just charge them a £25 admin fee.
“Oh f**k that I’ll transfer it in to my bank and do a bank transfer to you”
Lovely, a thank ya.
I have had them in the past but to be honest as Nancy points out, they make a s**t load of mess. Which you end up having to clean up again.
The last one I actually paid for was stupid money, £260 iirc?? From Autosmart. Then when that broke I bought a £30 one off eBay and it was the same just a...
