Machine Practise with Mark V Uno

Mat

Guest
Got a scrap wing last week. Think it's from a Fiat Punto. Decided with today being such a nice day, i'd have a go with the machine polisher.

I used a Silverline Orange, Mark V Uno was the polish and Rubbish Boys Orange and Red Pads.

Cleaned the panel with the usual method - Fairy liquid, kitchen paper towel and dried with a rag :lol:

Some before pictures:

Came out quite easy TBH! Not a full correction of the panel. A few RDS's left!

----------------------------​

Got the pads and polish from rubbish boys about a month ago! would recommend to anyone! The Mark V Uno is a top product and is used as an "all in one" polish. From the initial cutting stage, right through to the finish. If this was on a car, i'd have used Glisten after as the Sealant!

Top product IMO! :thumbup:

Mat, did you have a go at making mistakes to see how you could end up with holograms etc in the paint?

PS please wear a mask or a bag over your head when doing the reflective close ups...... :D
