What polisher do you have? Any pad pref?

[graemewelch]

rotary polisher, unsure of make. paid £20 for it from netto about 7 year ago. menzerna 203 compound with a orange lake country ht pad. sent a lot of pics and email back and forth to polishedbliss and thats what they recomended i use. do a small test on my bonnet. masked a square of about 18" and got to say its racking gear. breaks down nice and easy and leaves it pin sharp. seems to make the stone chips stand out even more

Im pretty sure that Turkish's stage 2, S60 T5 (2.4) made a little under 350hp...

im trying to find the thread on this.

it made 348 bhp not sure of torque. he removed the stage two when i bought it off him. i had stage 2 on from rica for a while but the ppc unit has gone haywire so i thougt time to try somthing new.

[Wobbly Dave]

Interesting that I arrived independantly at a very similar conclusion. Lake Country/ Menzerna IP. I tend to use the Yellow pad. Depending on colour I can recommend the poorboys glazes.

[graemewelch]

got some poorboys black hole glaze. very impressed with it. decieded to try all of the blackfire range on this one. hope its worth it, its cost me a fortune

[Wobbly Dave]

I used the PB Black Hole on our royal blue S40. I really rate it.

I hear great things about the BF range on dark colours. I hope all goes well.
