Bought myself a Porter Cable Polisher, which should have been sent out today.
Can't wait to get to grips with it and give the car a good going over.
Just thought I'd share that with you all

If you need any help with it just give me a shout as im in MK now.
Have you ordered your transformer for it?

I have ways of getting a transformer and plug Dino
Did you cut the 2 prong plug off and fit a 110v yellow one to yours?
Oh and I'll be contacting you soon about it

Yep - cut the USA 2 pin plug off and put the yellow one on.

Nice one, Tom
I've been thinking of getting one for a while, my car has some nasty swirls
What polish are you thinking of using? I've heard that Menzerna polishes are the ones to use with VAG paint.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it from?

With VAG paint you need to use Menzerna polishes with a slow cut method.
Something like powergloss followed up with Intensive Polish if the paint is bad or maybe just IP followed with Final Finish.

I am sure you will be pleased with the results.
I have had mine for over 6 months, I must admit I have only used it twice though and both times was on the Polo, I haven't had the free time to attempt the Passat yet - that is what comes with having 2 children.
It is a long term investment though. I'd also recommend Menzerna IP.

Alright Ollie, I got mine from
this guy on E-Bay
As for Polish, I'll use whatever Dino recommends as I'm a complete novice at it

Have to see some pics once you clean it

Of course, atm it's filthy
It needs to be cleaned before Tuesday though ready for the install. Even though the 3 hour drive there will dirty it.

Maybe have to have a cleaning session with you and Dino near the beginning of the summer - more than willing to chip in a few quid and maybe you guys could help me out with the PC
talk about being cheeky a?

I need to get familiar with it myself first Randall
Got to go up and see Dino when the weather gets better for some tuition.
