Unbelieveable Rotary Polishing Guide

This is by far one of the most detailed and extensive rotary polishing guides I have ever seen. It was done by Dave KG over on DWUK. I hope Dave doesn't mind me posting it here on Autopia for the others to see.

Fantastic work Dave....

Great timing. I'm just about to upgrade to a rotary and order a Makita this week...

I'm surprised he didn't post it here. Oh well, you've done us the favor Pat.

Re: Unbelieveable Rotary Polishing Guide

I am very pleased that this guide is getting a warm response over here on Autopia.

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!
