I bought one a couple of years ago but have never had the nerve to use it on one of my cars in case I balls up the paintwork.
Might get a couple of panels from the local scrappy just to practice.

The polisher is still in the box!
I was sh1t scared when I first used mine. Mines a Dual Action very easy to use and you would have to be going some to b4lls anything up.

Off to London today for a couple of networking catch-ups and then our Board meeting this afternoon.

Then it’s back to support my wife you learned yesterday evening that her mother has terminal Pancreatic cancer. Feels like she is a bit of a “lock down” victim as because of the pandemic she has not been able to get face to face with a Doctor for nearly a year. Only offered video appointments and diagnosis over the phone. Stands to reason they did not make the correct diagnosis.

Eventually, she shared with us the problems she was having and I immediately sent her for a consultation and tests privately and within 10 days she has had the appoint, tests and results. Further tests booked for Friday to see if the shadows on her liver are more of the same and then a treatment plan.

Can’t help feeling she has been let down by the system and Doctors in this area still pushing video and phone consultations.

Sorry to read that Scaf, support on here if needed; actually had a face to face with a GP on Monday, actually a pleasant thing, given the awkward nature of the discussion!

Morning all, working our way to South Wales through the day today for a day in the province tomorrow on sites. Overnight will be in Ebbw Vale. Lots to do today though.

Have fun all...

Morning all, not good news Scaf heard similar stories of the knock on effect of lockdown

Hump Day couldn't come soon enough as I need a weekend to attack the garden that has gone mad whilst we were away

Good morning everyone, sorry to read this Sam. There's got to be a better way of the NHS providing a fit for purpose system of free health care paid through our taxes. You can't see a doctor but they want a pay rise. The system is a joke.

How long are you in Ebbw Vale buddy. May be working out there myself tomorrow or Friday.

Morning all. Sad news about the MiL Sam.

Office today awaiting news on a new project (the waiting is killing me) and more projects to sort out.

My see if I can slope off early again like I did yesterday.

Good morning everyone, day off today so prep for my random trip to Germany and get some new rear tyres for the Suzuki. Both unrelated, I'm taking the GT.
@GeoffCapes even the professionals get anxious about using them. The detailer explained to me that they do not know how good or bad the paint is on a particular marque so the always try somewhere less obvious first. He told me that Tesla's were cr@p but Maseratis a joy to work on.

Morning all, more of the wet stuff today but at least I got the tractor our last night and cut the majority of the grass that had gone mad whilst we were away.

Normal WFH stuff today
