He was going to They are still a WIP right now, so it will be updated as I make corrections but I am more than happy that others are posting them too - I am sometimes a little shy to post my own work, especially if there are mistakes in it. The guide has already hit lots of forums though and I honestly didn't expect it to go much further than DW without me doing a little pushing, so I am in a way honoured that folks hold them in high enough regard to be sharing with their own communities.

On realising that they are proving popular, I have also posted them on a couple of other forums, this was definitely going to be one of them but Pat has done me the honour already

The guide you see there is very much a beta version - there are spelling mistakes, and perhaps a rather blinding mistake of a section heading reading Honda S2000 when its talking about a Ferrari F355! D'oh!

I am really happy to see that the guides are proving popular to be posted widely on forums, the reason I personally held back was I was still in the process of recifying some mistakes which the folks on DW are being absolute gems in pointing out to me - they are a huge help in the production of these!
Cheers on the amazing polishing guide! best article I've found on the net about rotary use.
This guide will be a help for sure.

Seems to work for me at the moment... Do you have a pdf reader, eg Acrobat or Foxit?

That guide took about three weeks of writing, but planning took a lot longer than that!

Re: Unbelieveable Rotary Polishing Guide

Great organization! I feel bad getting this information for free!! Hehe!!!

The first thing that I did notice, while glancing though, is the safety disclaimer and how to properly use a rotary (ie throwing the cord over your shoulder so that it does not get hung up in the rotary) is missing.

Another example would be being sure that all loose clothing is either removed or secured. I would hate to see someone get their hooded sweatshirt caught in the rotary.

This is just a constructive comment that I had to add, to an otherwise great piece of work.
