The Menz 203s/2500 will be great by hand. Have a look at these hand cut pads (don't forget free shipping!);

Glaze wise, have a look at Poorboys' White Diamond, or Galltastic's favourite Prima Amigo on an...
Chap, I could go down the route of "Jesus, you give some advice etc" but that wouldn't get us anywhere.
The fact that you are asking means you are not 100% on using the machine and I know from personal experience that arrogance (possibly the wrong word here) can lead to issues that can only be...
I for one would not be throwing caution to the wind on an unknown car, in unknown condition for my boss. Do you have a paint depth gauge? Or an idea of the cars history with resorts etc?
I'm playing the devils advocate here, but if you go through the paint and cause damage, how will your boss...
If you are thinking of polishing it, don't do it with a machine. No offense but you don't fill me with confidence in your abilities chap!
I would look at enhancing the finish with filler glazes and hand polishing.
Most do/have. It depends on your personality. I have mild OCD when it comes to research (and cleaning), so I spent months looking at ways to clean the car before I started out.
Not at all. You are one of very few new users that possesses those funny sticky-out things on the side of your head, that most use to listen. It's a refreshing change.

I agree with you entirely. However, I would also refer to the 7 Ps; Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I.e. stock up with the right products first, then embark on the "correction".
Yes. I use it. But FK1000p is not a "normal wax/sealant" as it's specifically designed for high temperature/chemical environments, such as those found around the brakes/suspension.
I would class a normal sealant/wax as Chem Guys' Blitz or Crystal Rock. These would not last.
You know about SunGuns but are asking about angle grinders?
Shall we start this thread again from my post, please. No more oh dears etc.
What are you after - a machine polisher? Have you used either a rotary or a Dual Action before? What is your budget? Do you have a paint depth gauge?
I'm certain they are great to drive. But I just wouldn't buy a new one, as they drop in value so quickly it makes me nauseous; I wouldn't buy it in Nimbus as it really does look quite plain; and from my own Renault experience (and the fact that most posts on Facebook are from people like Warren...
