    We used to use a garage and the owner was a right git, tried bending the testers arm to pass this and that all the time, the tester had enough one day and handed in his notice on his last day had another mate of the owner come in 4pm for his test and he also was a bit of a bully so the tester ticked almost every advisory he could the print off was almost 15 pages long put it in the car and left.

    I did check all of my ads seems like AT will be going through some teething issues changing sponsored to relevant .... most punters are clever enough to search low to high so I’m not convinced on the change over. The AT rep told me they are tailoring the site to suit the customers buying requirements (gearbox/colour/breast size etc) ... I replied so what about the £££ each month I’m paying you what about my needs and requirements.... stone cold silence I could hear a pin drop ... but as always AT has always made me the sales so i don’t have much of a choice, but I’m defo going to try and feed it back at my end of month call lol

    All very funny but what are the ramifications for the testing station.Advisories are in the public domain,how would VOSA view it.If the customer was offended,some lawyer might agree and claim damages from the testing station ( not the tester) .....An alternative view !

    Hi TG, I have been using a Sealey polisher with white foam pad and either G3 cutting compound or 3m fastcut. I’ve attached a picture of the kit I’m using as I’m at my site right now (just waiting for a customer to collect his lovely little corsa he left a deposit on yday lol). I’m also a member of detailing world which is really helpful over the years and I painted a few cars in my time. So basically if the car has bad scratches I will wet sand with 2000 grit and then polish with a white pad and spray of water with 5 drops of g3 on the pad at setting 1-2 on he buffer. All Bodyshop’s do this process after they painted a car to get any imperfections/orange peel out of the clear coat. A few passes and wipe clean with a microfibre then same process until it’s like a glass reflection. I finish it will the gloss enchancer\wax. If the paint ain’t to bad then I will use the 3m fast cut. Since your bodyshop has most likely compounded the car already hence the holigrams/swirls left in from using the buffer on high setting, I would recommend 3m fast cut and setting 1-1.5 on the buffer with a few sprays of water on the panel. No wetsanding. I’m confident the holigrams will be gone for sure. Black cars are a nightmare on swirls and holigrams but look amazing once done. Anyways I hope this help Cheers, Amer.

    I thought everyone was crying out for jobs, it’s taken me 6 weeks and £700 in recruitment advertising to get one person worth interviewing, he starts in 4 weeks, hopefully he’s as good as he says he is but I’m largely skeptical of main dealer mechanics I generally regard them more as parts fitters but I have been wrong in the past.

    As a 30year time served detailer Trade girl I would say a DA " dual action " polisher is a must to train on . The DA system will not in any way give the finish of a rotary but rotary polishers are a difficult beast to handle when starting out .
