The reason behind the D/A was purely that I was told they are easier for beginners on GRP. Normally this is something we would have done at the boatyard but trying to save a few squids so we can spend on other things for the boat instead. I need to make a decision soon if I’m to acquire a machine for next week when I’m next up at the boat. Want to do it sooner than later now I have got her nice and clean

Morning all, looks like I’m first in again, cloudy and overcast again but the sun is trying hard to burn through it. Forecast for sunny spells and showers again today, what joy. Not.

Hi Jeff, Without going into an assay, yes, a DA is easier for beginners partly because it does "bog down" if you apply too much pressure so the chances of damaging paintwork are very minimal. As a toe in the water () I've used an Argos DA machine and it's perfectly capable of doing a decent job. I've used one on notoriously hard VW paint and it coped well and produced good results. Not the quietest/fastest/smoothest etc. machine but it only costs £50. You'll be looking at 4x that for a "Rolls Royce" DA and maybe 3x that for a middling Rotary. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8647...polisher:1:8:1 It comes with a big pad so all you'll need is some polish. PM me your address and I'll send you a few bits and pieces to get you going. Andy.

Morning Rich, Bob, Ian and Andy. Cool and grey here - I'm beginning to think it's blessing in disguise that we're not away in the caravan this week.
It's not really early Summer weather. We're less than a fortnight away from the longest day - dark nights will be pulling in before you know it

A couple of light showers this morning but no proper rain for over 2 months now. I've not seen this much brown grass for years.

Went out for my trek earlier, got in, took the washing off the line, and suddenly, it's been pouring since, great timing. I will not be cycling to work this afternoon.
