i treated myself to a nice electric polisher and some t-cut, i tried it out on the car and now i got a patchwork bonnet

it was sunny outside, but it didnt feel hot

how can i get it back to normal, felt less embarassing with a slight pinkyness to it

i wasnt pushing, it told me not to push just go with the flow, i went with the flow and loads of paint came away on the cloth

no amount of rubbing is getting it off, i only stopped using the machine cause it blew all the electrics in the house

oh my lord gaz,i think you should resign to being the type of person who pays a man who can
stick up some pics you mad man

not sure if these pics show you the patchy-ness

go polish by hand!

i would get the soap and water out and give that a good wash and chammy it off.
then see how it is when it dries.

to me it looks like the wax has dried in the sun and is hard to remove so you havent removed it all, when it cools down- wash and t-cut n wax BY HAND

if it has dried i would of expected itr to come off with a lot of elbow grease, will have to try tomorrow

as i said gaz wash it to re hydrate the polish and lift it off.when it bakes on it can be a mare

roof looks slightly faded, bonnet is faded, around the door handles look a little faded too and the spoiler has some strange paint on the edges

gonna put new wings on as some goon dented the drivers one and just noticed rust bubbling on the passenger one, so buy a new one to get rid

hopefully can get the bits picked up pretty cheap and a decent place to spray

might go for a different red, or one that wont fade

strip it to the shell and get a funky flip

polishers are great but not for t-cut, for wax/polish in SUITABLE weather conditions
