Machine Polishing

[Spirit]

Have any of you guys ever had a car machine polished ?

We attended a car show a couple weeks back and provisionally booked a machine polish, 12 month hard wax and engine bay clean.

Having never had a car machine polished is there any reasons not to have it done ? They have told me it will remove any swirls and light scratches etc and should look good as new. Is this all true ?

Cheers

works well. you just need to make sure your car hasnt had any bad repair work on it INSERT INTO post VALUES (e.g. paint isnt to thin on edges etc.)

seen it to many times.
thats the best example of a car in desperate need of machine polishing - mopping.

who ever you get to do it, make shure when they have finished that all the edges and corners still have paint on the

without washing the car, water should still bead off after 2 mounths and washing it is a piece of cake.
dirt will just fall off with a pressure wash:cool:
invest in some decent polish and soft cloths and u r laughing

u may have seen 1 thats been done badly.
when the sun hits the car legnth wise it looks like someone has taken to it with a scourer INSERT INTO post VALUES (a bit like overlaping circles going backwards and fowards) thats because they only did half the job.

hope this helps you out.
and no, i wont be mopping cars on the 17th
