I am going to be looking at getting the Z4M detailed after my Holiday at the end of the month. The swirls are driving me mad! I bought a polisher and all the kit from Polished Bliss 2 weeks ago, and after spending a good 30-45mins on the bonnet, I had made no improvements what so ever. The vibration from the machine was also pretty extreme. So all in all I don't think I have the necessary skills, nor patience to do the whole car so will probably just bite the bullet and get it done properly.

I obviously know about Polished Bliss and will be in touch with them, just wondering if there is anywhere/anybody else worth considering?

Also, anybody looking for a machine polisher and pads etc etc? :-)

Would it be worth asking polished bliss to give you a little demonstration of how to use your machine..? I know every now and then when they have an open day they show you how to do it on bonnets etc.

What machine did you buy?

Sounds like you bought a Megs or Kestrel DA?

Easty,

I did my mother's Z4M for her birthday. I used the polisher and various compounds that Clark at Polished Bliss sold me. Usefully, however, he also gave me a tutorial on how to actually use it.

If you wanted I would be happy to demonstrate to you how its done.

I only know of Polish Bliss and from what I've heard they do a fantastic job. Worth every penny.

Jamie, pop over with your kit and I can show you how to use it - we can also get a catch up and you can let me see the new motor in the flesh :-)

failing that I'm sure the guys at PB will be able to give you a demo,

Clark, I am home on Monday so I will drop you an email or FB message and hopefully we can catch up one night during the week.

Thanks for all the reccomendations and offers of demo's guys. Plenty of options it would appear. It is a Kestral I bought. It was the hard paint kit from PB. I think I will opt to have it professionally done then I can use the kit to keep on top of it - once I know how to use it properly that is.

When I purchased my z4m it was a Press release car and had only done 300 miles. They said it had been used for spot/placement advertising. Any how's the wax job on it was amazing and still is today. Real depth to it. I would say get the job done professionally and keep on top of it. Mind and use the mit and two buckets when washing by hand. Still no swirls on mine but she's not used much and definitely not in the winter weather we get here..
