Both inside and out was machined polished, it still has plenty of scratches but much improved,

Looks great. I've had a similar result before but only from removing it and doing it on a hard floor as pressure is important. How did you do yours Sean?

Just did it in situ pal

That is amazingly clear, do you mind me asking what product you use on the machine please?

I mean did someone push on the other side with a pillow etc.

Nope just me on me own, doesn't really need much pressure as that would create friction and it would get too hot, just even pressure and keep the mop moving

Just looked at the photo again . Had to do a double take...oh my god- and you say it needs a further polish!

I'm not sure you'd get the same result with a DA as with a rotary polisher. My DA is very good on paintwork - still not as good as a rotary obviously. But it wasn't much cop on a screen without a lot of pressure.

That's right pal, DA is know where near as aggressive

If you have someone on the other side you need a piece of 19mm ply wrapped in a towel or similar, a pillow is too soft.

Good idea I'll see if James will do that. The trouble is he's nearly 6ft these days the same as me and doesn't fit into small spaces like that so well these days.

You could always get a direct drive rotory and see how many times you burn through your paint,
