you'l probably speak to a real helpfull lady who will answer all your questions.

thier soaps are excellent not as much wax in them as some which is a good thing

use a bench grinder, not one of those cheap 350 watt jobs.
if it is a new/newish grinder it will have 13mm shafts, the larger jogs have 16mm shafts,
old ones often have a 1/2" shaft. be sure which one you have.

buy a left and a right twist adaptor for the grinder to mops.

to get started purchase a 6" sisal mop the same size in a medium and finishing mop. plus a 4" in the medium and finishing.

the polishes are the size and shape of large coffee mugs.

just tell them what you want to polish and they'll put you straight.
or email me and i'll give you advice if your unsure

you do know if you start polishing it`ll start raining :mad: :rolleyes:
everytime I get the solvo out it starts rain. I gave up doin my own polishing, I found it much easier to take off the casings that needed to be shiney and take em to my friendly metal polisher. result - I spend less time in the garage buffing and getting dorty, and more time in the pub cost £40,
metal polisher £20 bar bill £20 :D
