Amateur Detailer

[leeds_182]

Any amateur detailers in Yorkshire fancy having a crack at my Rallye? It's got some serious swirl issues that I don't have the skills or tools to tackle it.

Ill give beer, cider, cash or hand jobs in payment.

Thanks.

You can have a bash with my rotary if you want. Don't have much left in the way of polish etc but should be enough.

Or my DA, when I prise it out of the hands of my mate that is.

Thanks dudes but I think I'd probably do more harm then good if was let loose with a da!

It's not exactly hard if you read up on it first and take your time. I'd say it'd take some stupidity to damage your car polishing with a DA.

​Enough said.

Adamm is right you won't do any damage with a DA because of how it works.

With a DA you're most likely to damage if you catch the backing pad or let the machine slip out your hands. You would have to hold it in the exact same position for some time to seriously damage the paint.

​I practiced some wet sanding etc on spare panels and even though I was being careless and holding the machine in the same spot to see what happened it never damaged the paint. Probably took a lot of lacquer off though so obviously not ideal.

Unless you set out to throw the DA at the car, you won't damage the paint.

If you cover the postage you're more than welcome to borrow my DA/pads/polish.

Might take you up on that pal. Thanks for the offer.

If Paul will let us run an extension and weather decent..... Ya can have a blast with my DA, if I manage to bring the 172 with me ya can even have a bash on that, guaranteed not to be able to do any damage and if ya do I can colour it in with a permanent marker lol
