Re: What have you ordered?
Sheeting with the open hose y0.
Just emailed Angry Birds. Response straight back.
"If you've ordered anything from this site after Jan 11, it won't ship until March". Plastered all over the website as well :(
Re: What have you ordered?
You've just reminded me. I ordered a fecking blue Angry Bird toy for my misses (both big fans) as just a wee present - still not farking arrived! Must have been three weeks :(
Had a decent renewal price through from them, but Zurich Premier Client came back lower this time, and includes protected NCB on all cars + Free breakdown assistance (would have been £82 per car this year with the AA, so a saving right there!).
Shine and depth come from the polishing stages lad.
As for clay, Megs Quick Clay kit gives you all you need and can be bought from Halfrauds. Or you can shop at I4Detailing et al and buy something a little different, but will do the same thing.
Wax, again, budget? Natty's Blue keeps up with...
This is the guy who was setup in his parents garage IIRC and was featured on the news recently. I wouldn't be taking the R8 to him, purely as it's not in his pay grade (too low). So not sure he would even touch a Trophy (this is not meant in an offensive way!!). He is Veyron/Lambo/Top level...
Waste of the Bilberry lad.
Decent brushes would be the Melody ones;

But you can use pretty much anything within reason... I usually take the wheels off so it allows for smaller brushes to be used in the more intricate...
Up until recently you were not allowed to buy it from the shop. It's only for professional/trained useage. See no reason why the Gen Pop can't use it now, however. After all, we were all scared of machine polishing paint at some stage in our lives!
I would only go and do what you've done fella and ask DW, so can't really help more than that.
The bloke on DW seems to think it looks like a Bosch one though...

Decent brushes required as well. Remember to get some decent protection on all parts as well, making it easier to clean next time (metal polish, plastic trim gels etc).

Sonus pads are great for newbies, as they last ages and ages. Not keen on the PB SSR range, personally, but you'll find one line of polishes that works best for you and most likely stick by them!
