Yes, another order for a PC here, arrived Monday with no duty :-) My SSR2.5, 1 has been sent from John @ C&S so hope to have a go this weekend!
It will be interesting to see how I get on with the paint, knowing that on my Audi it is very hard, read alot already and keep reading, may have to come back for some pointers on technique!
hehe, more pc converts
Did The Abc Code Work ?
Glad to see that auto detailing is becoming an international passion :clap:
I have to say that write-up on the first post was great almost made me want to fly over and give it a go just to see if I could do it. Well fellas, keep up the great pics and write ups from the other side of the atlantic.

This is a cool guide, I got my PC from Autopia about a year and half ago and remember spending ages trying to find a transformer etc... this guide would of been a BIG help.

Hijack from Belgium...LOL
I have already a rotary but want to try out a PC for a mong time now...
Ordering is no problem, the only thing I have to find out is how many watts that PC has to order the right transformator.
They have diffenerent sizes but the one the "advised" me weights about 15 kg`s, has a capacity of 1000 watt`s and is NOT water resistant (as the yellow one you guys have)
Currently you can buy a PC with 5.5 in pads at autogeek for less then 130$ but it`s that transfo that bothers me.
Other option is the Makita B06040, at a cost of 500 € !!!!
Must add that I`m very skilled with a rotary so maybe it"s a waste of money, I really can`t think that a PC will be quicker then my rotary....
Nobody ?
Oh, and what wattage has a PC ?
Thanks
Great guide... really useful!
Ordered my PC+SFX pad kit from autopia-carcare on Friday and ordered the transformer gear from screwfix this morning for a cost of £46. Should have it all by the end of the week. Cant wait to get my hands on it :D
Total cost of kit and transformer is somewhere in the region of £169 depending on exchange rates!
I`m pretty sure the PC is approx. 330 watts.Quote:

This is the transformer that I have...
