Machines like to Cosmo only have the ower to put on and take of wax. The PC is heavy duty in comparison and is what you need to remove swirls. If you want to correct paint you will need a PC or Rotary.

Road Angel Specs are here http://www.roadangel.co.uk/ They have updated the RA2 to Road Angel Plus but its not on there site yet. I brought mine from here in my pre CS days http://www.nav-now.co.uk/ They have the new Road Angel Plus on there aswell. I reckon Has will be you best bet for a...

On a Sunday woman! Madness ;)

At least you can do the inside sat in the car with the heater on!

82 00 351 433 is the number Maz Cheers Rich

I have got a Road Angel 2 which I cant fault, wouldn hesitate to buy another. The one to go for by all accounts is the Origin B2, but it is a pain to swap between cars, which for me meant the RA2 was the better option.

The garage is the best option, but not always possible! I dont really like to quick detail car that has been left outside for to long. Hopefully one night after washing etc should be ok. But If in doubt a full wash is a the only really safe option. Before I garaged my car I used to use a car...

You still snowed in still Maz?

If your freind had a 182 with the Cup suspension upgrades it lowers the car only 3 mm more than a standard 182. I doubt you would be able to tell much between a 182 with cup packs and your 172 in ride height. Welcome to CS.

Welcoma and enjoy.

I updated the firmware some time ago, will check mine in the morning to.

LOL, you have to do that once! Halfords only sell the Consumer range not the Pro Range the 80 and 83 is from. Easy on the 83 it can be harsh stuff and is know to haze paint, 80 on a polishing pad is nice and safe to get you going. Also look into the Poorboys Swirl Remover Range, I find them...

Jinxed again now :(

Of the shelf productsfor your paintwork - Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection. Clean the alloys with Autoglym Engine Machine cleaner and polish and seal with Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection same as you paintwork. All available from Halfords.

That is a rotary polisher, same as most bodyshops use. Is not a beginners tool as the PC is. You can burn through paint with one, an its fairly easy to induce holgrams in your paint with one. Practice on a old car or panels first if you do hire one.

You need to but a fair amount of pressure on the machine when polishing with it, start to push down on the head till the motor starts to bog down, lift back up so the machine goes back to speed and that will let you know how much pressure to use. When using polishes I spread it around at speed...

This all depends on the severtity of rust which is impossible to tell until you sand down and start giving the suspect area a good proding ... oh er! ;) Providing it is just suface rust then it may be sortable without any major metal work, unfortunatley in most situations rust goes deeper than...

Where abouts you based? The PC is a Porter Cable Random Orbit Polishing machine. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=57673&highlight=PC+polisher+guide As for polishes to use with it look into the Meguiars Bodyshop Range, or the Poorboys SSR swirl remover range from...

I guess letting it melt them wiping it off with a microfiber and quick detail spray would be the safest option.

Gald your up and running - You will get used to the vibrations. Some times messing about centering the pad more also helps. You may get more control not using the handle, also allows you to bear down on the machine more when removing some swirls.

Cheers - no PS here though, straight off the camera!

Parked on the drive in the same place after waxing - I will get next door to repaint his garage door for the next time LOL!

All these clean arctic blues on here today makes me wish I had choosen one, nice one.

Most big Halfords sell it as part of the Meguiars range. Other wise online at somewhere like www.cleanandshiny.co.uk

Glad to hear it, looking forward to seeing it at the SW meet tommorrow.

Looking good, love the low sun on the paint looks sweet.
