Yes. Have a look for my Volvo C70 thread. I used the pb BH on that by hand and really like it. Also used it yesterday on an Audi A6 AllRoad, it even worked wonders on the satin finish roof and bumpers!! Very impressed with it overall!! And it smells nice too lol

Z8... Apply over a wax? Spray on wipe off? Or Spray on applicator wipe on then buff?

Z8 is utterly brilliant. Application can be fussy if you do it wrong but totally idiot proof if you do it right, which is easy. My method is:

Spray on and spread with short pile MF.
Wait about 10secs, buff off with medium pile MF.
After a couple of panels there should be enough on the MF to only apply a tiny amout here and there, like many products it doesn't need much.

I keep a pair of these just for Z6/Z8 http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/poorboys-deluxe-mega-towel-cat24.html
Cold weather can make it a little streaky but not an issue right now. Get it! Uber-bling.

Das6 pro is a great machine. Over on dw there's an ongoing group buy and the machine is £99 I believe. If I was in your position I'd get the machine using the dw code then get two chemical guys hex pads and two 250ml bottles of menzerna polish. This is all you will really need and you'll have change from £150. A few spot pads can make life easier but not essential.

I bought a kit from cyc a few years ago and it's brilliant but I've ended up with a heavy cutting pad and a bottle of menz polish that I'll probably never use.

I'd defiantly recommend the das6 pro tho. I always enjoy using mine and have got great results.

Basically what I've just done, looking forward to getting stuck in! Got my little haul from CYC today, including the purple monster drying towel - very nice & soft. Just waiting now for my PO203s to arrive which should keep me going for a little while.

Medium paint? White is fine mate. Check some on my threads.

203s on White will correct Ford paint well if used correctly.

Orange is for hard paint. Renault style, vag, merc, bmw etc.

Scrooge gally either of you able to offer some advise on this also? Looking for best bang for buck, without being a tight ass if that makes sense?
Can either of you advise why people opt for Menz over most other polishes also?

They just perform really well. They spread and work in an oily fashion and finish without (comparatively) dust.

Also, some of the medium cut polishes (eg 203s) diminish finely enough to use as a single stage correction in most cases.
Despite the bizarre old numbering system they're great.

Das-6 pro mate with hexlogic pads and some menz. They're user friendly and work so well. Practice is key!

Ordered the wrong pads from PB - got the Meguiars micro fibre finishing discs instead if cutting discs. Ffs!

Edit: I was going to go for black orange and blue. But there's no black available...

Fare play, I was getting the blue for glaze, any suggestion for a third for me? The main car being done will be VAG, or practise on the 172 shell...

I use the blue pad for glazes and pre wax cleaners. It's absolutely perfect for this.

White could be a good shout as it will give a bit more bite when using a pre wax cleaners to nip any light swirls or wash marring. You could also use the white pad for refining with something like menz 106fa

I was going for the sf4500 and pf2300. Wanted the 2500 but again it's out of stock, and I'm an impatient fucker...
