Nice, what sort of cutting compound/polish are you using?.
I bought a halfords 12v one recently, as my arms don't take polishing very well. What polish did you use? I spent about three hours polishing yesterday, and then went on a 250 mile round trip ito Wales today. Bloody bugs splattered everywhere now!

I couldn't spend 12 hours polishing, I've not got that much time, plus it just gets covered in bugs and dirt anyway lol. 3 hours wasn't the whole car though
I envy you all lol
Better still pay someone to do it for you - life is waaaaaaaaaaaaay to short to spend all your free time washing cars that will be filthy the next time you pull off your driveway! :mischievo
[quote=Mrsmopp;232778]to spend all your free time washing cars that will be filthy the next time you pull off your driveway! :mischievo[/quote] Yeah but a sealed & waxed car is a lot easier to keep clean than a dirty car getting dirtier.

[quote=snoop69;232802]Yeah but a sealed & waxed car is a lot easier to keep clean than a dirty car getting dirtier.[/quote] Quite, hence pay someone else to do it for you :D [quote=jonno12;232827]dont ya mean get the other half to do it for you[/quote] Ha, your kidding aren't you he's allergic to car washing!!

Ah, already got some of that myself, trouble with G3 is it's a bit too course, you need to use a finer compound like G10 afterwards, mine still looks a little hazy after just the G3.
