Hello guys

My roof needs alot of polish work to get it bk to a good finish. alot of rubbing with some Tcut has helped on a small area, but it would take a year to finish the roof.

i was looking at the chep <20quid polishers from halfords etc. will these be any good?

also what do you recormend using? the roof is a rough to touch finish and has some overspray on. its white.

the car is red and i plan to polish this too when the rooof is done.

I have been looking at poorboys products.

if you know there is a decent ammount of paint on it you would get your finish by flatting it down with 2000 wet/dry then polishing with a compound and then a wax, i have some cheap auto glym polish for sale £15 for 5 lts but your a bit to far the cheapoer polisher might not be great but will do a job

Ive got some autogylm, but it doesnt really show any improvement after hours of hand polishing. I was going to get some poorboys products, as i had my seat ibiza done with this last summer and it was brilliant.

Will the cheap polisher do the job? or at least save some arm ache?

those two handled jobs they sell in argos and such? there a bit pants, certainly not good enough for compounding. Get some g3 dude

Don't get one of the two handled jobbies, they are no use at all if you want a proffesional compounding job, they are more for waxing, which can be done just as well by hand after compounding. Get a polisher like this -

and use with a medium compound mop and G3 advanced compound. Use it carefully, with a little water, keeping away frome edges, to avoid burning through the paint. This will get your paint looking like new, for relatively low cost.

i totally agree. my dad runs a car lot and uses these beauties all the time with g3 and g6 on tired paint and they come up a treat. Nice bit of polish and it will be beautiful mate.

good luck
