mopping

[samass]

ok so lots of interesting stuff to read there, thanks guys!

first off, my cars not black, its green, just the colour in my sig is a bit off haha

i feel pretty confident about going out and attacking my car with my rotary, im sensible enough to take it easy and make sure im not heating up the panel, and to work in a small area first, keeping the head moving and flat. i know to make sure the polish doesnt dry up too quickly, by not doing in the sun etc etc

ive used a few cutting compounds before by hand, obviously on a rotary its a bit different, but i have a rough idea of what to expect from reading up and playing on my fez (which was basically a scrap bonnet )

im gunna go to halfords tomorrow after the f1 and pick up some compound and other polishes and stuff, ideally id like to try a lighter polish first, than diving straight into a compound, so on that front, whats a good one thats not too harsh?

on the actual mop front, i have a selection, and from what i gather, you use a firmer sponge for more aggressive cutting, and then a softer one for finishing. is that right?

sorry for the massive essay guys, read the last two paragraphs if TL,DR

thanks
