so looks like we have this Sunday 13th (start around 12:30) to cover basic machine polishing and some Do's and Don'ts in MK. I have a test panel we can test the difference between DA / rotary, cutting pads and compounds - we will also cover off other prep and post tasks.

if you have a machine please bring this with you. for safety the test panel may be on the floor (inside the unit) unless I can get a little table (off to B&Q)

- Roger (confirmed)
- Rossy (confirmed)l
- Woody (to confirm)
- SimonCC (cancelled)
- Tinman (to confirm)

this will be dependant on weather which currently looks OK, I will check mid-week and if OK will send out PMs with location and contact number

My apologies too Enzo. I won't be able to make it either. The wife is out so I have to look after the kids plus she does not see any benefit if me going to "watch a man clean a car" (her words not mine)

no probs Tinman, you could say that you just lost out on free detailing training which would help in cleaning her car...

I won't be doing any cleaning, just watching :)

Just a note of thanks to Enzo for 2-3 hours of tuition this afternoon on machine polishing with a rotary & DA.

Very interesting stuff of which I will need many hours of practice to perfect.

Good to see Rossy again.

Many thanks Enzo, rgd's

Just echoing Roger's comments above.

Enzo thanks so much for giving up your free time to teach a complete novice about machine polishing. I feel I learnt a lot but that there's a long way to go! Hope to see you at an event soon.

Good to see you again Roger.

again very welcome and the car sounded very nice - look forward to seeing some after pics :)



Hi Enzo

Glad to hear you had a good few hours detailing!

What did you cover?

basics to get the panels ready for machine polishing and then compare DA against rotary, compare different type of pads and removal of swirls and RDS and what damage a little heat can do as Roger found out :)
