No mate that's what you get from the car wash guys in supermarket car parks with their trolleys.

It sorted of dried streaky? i think its because i mopped it in direct sunlight lol

Probably safer than the 2.2Kw angle grinder and waffle pad I usually use lol

It's not the power that's the problem it's the speed,I would guess the paint would get quite hot quite quickly.

Lol, your lucky if the 850 sees daylight these days, definately one to watch for when it comes up for sale...

Gav, I can see why you've never mopped a car before your techniques are shameful...

Angle grinder type ones burn paint more easily because they stay in the same place whereas the new ones most use nowadays orbit.

I've just ordered two new plastic panel clips for the rear seats as the old ones were not clipping in tightly enough, had to come from Germany and cost £3.38 lol and 6 plastic pins for the rear diffuser as the old ones were a bit scratched. The parts counter guy thought I was mad lol.

I use a dual action polisher and still managed to burn threw the paint lol.
