KevC

Could I be added to the second list? I've been wanting one of these for ages and I just bought a new car that badly needs paint correction.

Looking to forward to get cracking with this, want to get power washer too, can anyone recommend one, hearing nilfisk are good? think Ill need a foam lance too?
Cheers lads

Nilfisk come highly recommended on Detailing World.
Purchased one myself two years ago and hasnt missed a beat! The model I bought is the C120 - plenty powerful for doing the car, and other small jobs around the house/garden.....the key to it being so good is the fact that they have aluminium pump not like Karcher's plastic pumps in their entry level power washers!

Yep, the suppliers don't have the 6.5" in stock. The biggest they have is 5" if that's any good to you?

5" should be the correct one I would have thought.

The D/As come with a 6.5" backing plate for the 6" pads. You do have a good point though but that's the way it is.

Nilfisk it is then! Anybody in cork sell them, or will I have to resort to the internetz?

Cheers
Damo

Thread hijack here

If you are the KevC I am thinking you are ( black car? )

What did you buy this time?

It will indeed!

I think that would be an aggressive compound. Be careful. You will also most likely have to finish with a lighter polish prior to waxing/sealing

Are you sure? Don't quote me, but I think the kestrel comes with a 5 inch backing plate.

The Meguiars G220 comes with a 6 inch plate, but that is for using with their own pads which are 7 inch.

My new car is black yes but I'm probably another KevC. I know there's another KevC from Cork on some forum. If I am who you think I am, I got a Citroen C2 VTS.

Will also mention this on Irishrotary to see if we can get a couple more people signed up. Don't want to wait too long, want to polish the car up for summer .

MetzgerMeister

Hi Gav! RX7 or RX8?

Yep, that's the kit you'll get

We need 10 people to complete the next GB.

Payment details will be organised when the time comes and it's with www.detailingshed.com. I don't know if they'll be using that GB thing you posted but just check back here every so often.

With regard to a clay kit, JerCotter7 is dealing with that as he hi-jacked this thread so if it goes wrong, it's his fault, not mine :P

Thank you for your support

Can't wait to see what a good polish will do to it's appearance.

RX8's have definitely grown on me since having the FD.

Will keep an eye on this thread, might get a clay and sealant / wax kit separately.
