    Lads I have the car booked in with Spirit at end of September but paint is looking fairly tired at the minute so I was going to drop the car up to these lads for a machine polish in the interim.

    Has anyone used them before or had any experiences with them?

    Exterior buff as listed here:

    Judging by the description, I probably wouldn't recommend it, it'll probably be some lad tearing around it with a rotary, I'd just de-tar, clay bar and wax your own for the mean time :)

    Had the same thoughts - 110 quid to 5 stage machine polish with T-Cut!! Hmmmmm

    Just wait until Sept - dont give Brian more work to do that he needs to! You car wont look as well as it would if he hadnt to spend the time fixing someone's mess!

    Ah stop

    In their about page
    Picture of a car being wash with a sponge
    Then in their 5 stage polishe description
    Wash
    Dry with chamois
    Then as Curran said T-Cut..!!

    RUN AWAY !!!!!

    Just look after it until Brian gets at it.
    You will only make ity a more difficult job for him.

    Ha, tbh I didn't even look much at the site, someone told me that they were the only ones locally they knew of that would do a machine polish I googled and got the link I posted. (They didn't say they were the only ones who would, just that they were they only ones they knew!)

    Don't worry. I've realised my mistake already :D

    Literally just out of halfords, had most of what I needed but got a clay bar and tar remover so that's what I'll be at for the day! First time at this so hope I don't fcuk it up.

    I'll take before and after pics :)

    excellent
    Is it the megs clay bar kit you got?
    Remember
    plenty of lube for claying and you cant go wrong.

    I found it very good, I used their Detailer with it but I also just use a high dilution of car shampoo and water in a pressure sprayer as lube!
