    I finally finished my jewelling on the Mercedes S Class Coupe.

    Thanks Tony
    3 coats of Collinite seems to turn a sharp Silver into warmer silver ... must be the Carnuba ?

    Re: Ultra High Gloss recommendations please

    I didnt wipe down with IPA , as 3M assured me there are no fillers in Ultrafina SE; but I agree with you it must be slightly oily, well it looks like it when you polish it with a DA.

    Ultra High Gloss recommendations please

    I think I saw somewhere a poster talking about a really high gloss wet look wax.
    At the time I thought thats a waste of time ... Collinite 476S looks Fabulous, why would anyone need more??

  14. Would this bodge work? Adapting my backing pad.

    Sadly the German dealer jacked the price of the 5” Makita backing pad from ฃ41 to ฃ79 after recieving my money :(

    I use Collinite 476S ... never had this happen.
    brilliant stuff.
    But I put it on thinly, and dont leave it till its hard to wipe off.
    Beads well for nearly 6 months ... low mileage 3,000 p.a....

    Normally left for 6 months, the beading is...

  19. Re: Just got my Makita PO6000C 6” Polisher ... and a few questions ...

    Hi Mike
    thanks thats pretty much the plan. Just waiting for the back to heal, and the 5” backing pads to arrive, as the four 3M blue ultrafina pads are too small for the 6” BP. But the Rupes 180mm...
  20. Re: Just got my Makita PO6000C 6” Polisher ... and a few questions ...

    That is precisely my point on the Makita, nothing touches the backing plate! So raising it with a washer would not make any difference.
    Hence my interest in this “fix” .... is he proposing inserting...
  21. Re: Just got my Makita PO6000C 6” Polisher ... and a few questions ...

    That is a true bargain.
    Thank you for the offer of sending me a backing pad, much appreciated. But I think its sorted.
    Via either the German supplier or hopefully Makita UK will come back and say...

    Just trying to learn.
    Some of those marks look like the clear coat has detached ? And has oodles of stone chips?
    Or is it just the camera? Or polish dust?
    ( personally I find it very difficult to...
  24. Re: Just got my Makita PO6000C 6” Polisher ... and a few questions ...

    $160 thats an amazing deal! In the UK all that would buy you is a Das Pro.
    Was that new?
    I finally found someone in Germany who sells the 5” BP for ฃ26 ( the official german price) and ships to...
  25. Re: Bizzare Question: can you use auto polish on Granite Worktops.

    I just wondered if it would put a deeper shine on it, and then use it as a maintenance routine.

    I dont know how 0000 wire wool equates to polish or even 5000 grit .
    But I was surprised it...
