It's easy when you know how mate its all about speed and pressure and the results are brilliant providing it is not an every week thing!
Yeah i have used one once before but think i will get more practice in with the pc
Tyre shine is cool, although i got carried away when i was younger and put it on the whole tyre. Needless to say it was like driving on ice for a while [:$]
It's not any quicker using a machine polisher, it actually takes much longer but you get far better results. I can hand polish a car in about 1 hour but it would take me approx 6-8 hours with my pc.
They are not getting cheaper as they are the classic of classics. It's like the escort cossie or rs500, very old cars but so sought after ford classics. Buy a 22b and you will not loose much money when the time comes to sell it.
