What rotary polisher do you use? And what's your preferred pad and compound combination for hard paint?

Tim.

I currently use just a cheap £60 rotary name slips my mind. You don't really need a branded one as its the pads and polishes that do the work.

I currently use a 50mm foam backing plate with 5.5inch menzerna pads good and cheap you can really abuse them and clean them real easy in warm water sqrunching them. I also recommend using menzerna compounds. Most German manufacturers comision them to produce polishes the tackle there clear coats.

May as well update as well some of these are crappy iPhone pics till I can get the proper camera connected up.

Here we have a rough Astra coupe hadn't been touched in 2 years spent 5 hours on the inside alone thanks to a horrible beige carpets and leather interior. The paint is a really nice dark blue with a stunning blue flake in the paint something is love to get my hands on properly!

Was treated to the restore service


Then a shogun sport being a commercial vehicle the paint work is oretty much a blow over then done the orange peel is horrific and distorted the light. The Marty's blue gave it some good gloss but wasn't cutting it at all I trialled the Marty's white on top of the blue and the lines of the car was coming through to give some pretty cool reflective shots.

This was treated to the Decontamination+ service


Then a shot of a corsa sport
This was treated to the restore service although the paint wax pretty good so opted for a zymol cleaner wax which contains light abrasives which brings up mirror finishes guaranteed. followed up with nattys blue
