Been machine polishing then? How difficult is that to do? I tried with the Corsa the other week - though the motor sounds like its going and the pad was pretty much shagged - found it easier to work the compound by hand in the end.

Some speed adjustable Makita thing. The pad was fubared if I'm honest - Just tried it to see what it was like. I will find something to do the job properly though :) Flame pink is getting old fast :lol:

A buffer isn't just your average adjustable grinder with a Mop on the end. A proper buffer actually runs at much nicer/steadier speeds and you can control it allot more than a grinder.

That'll have been the problem then.
