Well done dezzy, well deserved!

Congrats again

( I've just cleaned the Xsara. Once a year whether it needs it or not. Is a dual action machine polisher like the whirly brush thing for a jet wash.)

not quiet, a D/A polisher would look like this one below and differs from a rotary path as seen in the image (thanks DaveKG - of DW fame)

Lovely lassie.

Well done Dezzy :thumbsup . Visited these guys the other day to get advice on how to keep the Exige looking nice. Guy spent about 1/2 hour explaining all the different polishes, sealers, glazes, cloths, applicators etc etc. We got onto the subject of polishing machines and to cut a long story short he reconned that for an Exige/Elise the machines were a waste of time. You would spend longer masking off than you would hand polishing. Save your money and buy some elbow grease :wink: .
Really friendly bunch at Polish Bliss and quite willing to walk you through the whole detailing carry on.
