I cant afford your merc wheels for my seat but o well

you could make me an offer! gonna need em gone soon

Done some more polishing over the holiday Just got one centre to do thank fook but i can get them up better with grey cut on a stiched mop so ill probs go over them again. The bottom left wheel centre i done with the grey cut on a soft sitched mop it just seems to work better on a different mop head.

BLING BLING!

youve put the barrels and dishes on the wrong way around!

well done phill, look awsome mate. makes it work hanging in there. ule find different mops work alot better than others. be awsome to see these bk on the mk1

Yeah cheers its a bit long useing 6 different stages on each wheel lol but the grey compound is good at getting the light scratching out on a bendy mop. I would like to try it on a big machine like what you use jo to see the result bet you can apply a lot more pressure.

u still got one in pieces mate? yeh u can. i use 2hp machines. most of the time im hanging on them anyways, i can lean all my body weight thru the machine and it still goes no problem mate. they do cut out after polishing hard after a while though as the machines get really hot
