stunning.

very brave aswell, even though people say they are safe to use by amateurs at low rpm's, i'd still be scared of going through the paint or messing it up.

we need more speedo vids aswell. silly quick from what i remember.

Yeah, as said MTM is the tuning company who's maps I use - http://www.mtm-online.de/

Not really been anywhere, just reading and not so much posting!

I didnt realise there was a risk with the polishing yknow? Bought this kit - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing/polishing-machine/das-6-dual-action-polisher-sonus-kit/prod_520.html and when I spoke to guy there he said it was quite a mild kit and as long as I kept the speeds slow Id be ok? Did it first with the swirl remover and then did the final finish. Would def recommend one!!

That kit will be fine. DA's are what I suggest for noobies. It's the ones who get rotarys because they're marginally cheaper or they get it off their mate at a bodyshop that re the ones asking for trouble!

Good results mate, lovely colour combo with the wheels too

Its nippy I suppose but I dont think the box is up to many launches, it expired shortly after timing it and it cost a fortune to fix (luckily covered under warranty!)

Best Ive done is 3.9 to 60 and 8.4 to 100. Doesnt feel that fast when your in it though cos its such a barge, bit dull really! May get something new soon but I just dont know what would be as good an allrounder for around £35k?

The wobble is more than likely you feeling the head oscillate / rotate in both directions. As unlike a rotary, it is a random orbital which means it spins both ways. From what I remember, DA machines essentially simulate something like 10,000 hand movements per minute

The main thing that puts me off buying one is the fact that I'll get people going 'do mine' if it came out good
