Hello,

Anyone in Scotland know somewhere that will mop and polish and advise me on how good or bad my paint is?

Dont want to go somewhere and be led into unnecessary work although I fear it probably needs a respray in the longer term.

Russell I'll probably pop down in a few months to see your man in Ayr but I'm a while away from a respray kitty-wise

Skint indeed. That's some amount of work.

Anyway would you consider trying it yourself. I did mine when I got it never having done it before.

It's time consuming but you can pick up a polisher from toolstation for £40 and the 4 stage merzerna polish set and a couple of pads for another £40.
