Good evening all,
I've just got my car back from the bodyshop and want to give it a good going over and polish this weekend, anyone had a DA polisher in or around Edinburgh that I can borrow for a few days?
Thanks
Mark

Didn't I give you a thing like that before? Like an angle grinder but with a cloth where the cutting disk should be?

You certainly did sir , thank you, but it wasn't working right, kinda dies when you put any pressure on it

that was (is as I still have it) a rotary which is easier to burn/damage the paint with, a dual action less of a hazard in the wrong hands, I probably have the wrong hands.

Hope your recovery is going well Tut, how are you feeling?

My angle grinder will not stall if you lean on it ... well not for longer than it takes to cut your hand off ... do you want to borrow that instead?

Blooming heck Tut that suck, you feeling OK in yourself? hopefully the wait isn't stressing you too much mate!
Argos came to the rescue with a DA for an unbelievable £54

Cheap and cheerful but it's not like it's going to see much use, only when I buy a new car or have one painted and maybe once a year for a spruce up so I think it'll be grand for what it's required for.
