By hand this time but will use a machine next time will get a better finish left things a wee bit late

I might also use a higher grade like ssr2 to try and take deeper scratches oot

Let us know how you get on with the SSR2 next time.

I used a PC on my E60 boot lid on Sunday and found the paint to be rock hard and it was difficult to remove the deeper sratches in the clear top coat.

Mike, not slow at all, just waiting a reply to my suggestion to Bigian that perhaps this would be better in a certain other area  Politeness doesn't cost

(now where's that avatar...)

OOOH get you with your namby pamby politness lark

Only joking Simon, I didn't realise it was common practise to 'ask' if someone wants a post moving but I guess a long standing member like Ian may get preferential treatment so am I entitled to the same?
