Wow - that's amazing! Has anyone here in Melb got one of these polishing machines? I was thinging that I was going to do it by hand.

Neil, check out Final Inspection's forums. Some very good stuff there and I usually ask all my detailing questions there and get back some good answers. Final Inspection is a detailing company by the way.

With using a rotary machine, it'd definitely speed the polishing process up a lot as opposed to hand polishing, but results can be bad if you're not well-practised with one. I find that detailing is a whole other type of game and knowing your stuff like what pads to use, what polishing abrasive to use for certain scratches etc really goes a long way.

Anyway, on a side note, I just bought one of these:





More of an impulse buy when I was shopping around Haven't used it yet, but I'm sure I'll be doing a favour for my back!

detailing is way too anal for me, but as you can see my mate W3lsh is really good at it.

I want one of those machines, how much does it cost for someone to do it professionally? I have never paid for detailing. But I am with 99 and would pay for something that good

Anyone else with pics using other products?

seriously there is no better way to clean your windows other than just a damp cloth with water and a dry cloth. no smudges. meguires 'quickclay' is a crazy product
