A shoulder injury and a polisher are not a good combo, they are quite heavy and you need to hold them a long time, unless your skimming across using it to apply a coat of something like black hole etc, but you need to buff of by hand for a good finish Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Looks great mate Thumbs Up

Thanks for all your thoughts gents. I will think it over but leaning towards giving the Werkstat Acrylic Jett trigger spray a try first and see how I get on, then ask Santa for an expensive machine if I don't get on with it. _________________

I've been ready for a change for a while now getting bored with mine, but the wallet knows better

Had a look at a Audi SQ5 the other day, just to look and it was very nice and on paper very fast for the size

Been looking in to towing weights of stuff like BMW 5 series, Merc estates and stuff too, but its all looking till things are sorted Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Sumatra Black

I'm like Nick and bought a G220, thinking I would use it a lot. Only use it once a year now to remove any swirls and scratches.
But as Taz says Werkstat is the go to polish and sealant, easy to use and easier to top up

I use the full system
Acrylic Prime
Acrylic Jett
Acrylic Gloss used as a QD and top up in between washes

I was using a wax as a LSP but Lund it attracted the dust a lot more than the prime and Jett
