Hi,

Newbie to this forum, but well up for a PC & the UK version sounds gr8!

Anyone have an update on availability? Or is this just a pipe dream?

My wife drove her new Land Cruiser (black) through a car wash & has sustained a lot of minor scratching to the bodywork & colour coded trim etc...

I've used Swissol Medium & Strong Cleaner Fluid on the wing which has made a real difference, but of course would like better...

So, question is will the PC help? If so can it be used on the colour coded trim also??? & being a COMPLETE novice will I do any damage (I hear of paint burn etc...& dont want to make it any worse...)

Also the Swissol CF doesnt use any abrasives, will I run the risk of buffing away the clear coat etc???

Thanks

More delays I'm afraid at least another 2 weeks.
But take a look at this.http://www.thepolishingcompany.com/ultimatedetailia.html

Has anyone purchased one of these & if so, how does it compare to the PC??

Also, assuming I choose to wat for the alleged arrival of the PC where in the UK can I purchase/put in an advance order??

Again, any help much appreciated...

you wont burn the paint with a porter cable , porter cables are very safe to use its rotary polishers that you have to be very careful with.

Try poorboys swirl removers something like SSR2 and if that hasnt removed the swirls try SSR3. After that use a polish then a sealant and then a wax.

You can still burn through the paint with a PC - it's just a hell of a lot harder to do than with a rotary. The main issue with rotaries stems from most of them operating with far to high rpm's - I have not had any problems with my rotary (yet, fingers crossed, touches wood) but it never gets off speed 1.

rotarys produce fantastic results though. I used one on a 911 a few weeks ago and it looked amazing
