RE: E46 Detail - Newbies attempt at machine polishing ('05 E46)
Get a scrap panel from a breaker and see how you get on with it, scratch it up and try to fix it again.
Buy twice as much tape as you think you will need and maybe invest in a multiple pads ie 2x orange 2x white if budget allows. Detailing world is def the place to go for advice and tips

Sorry for the lack of updates, work and especially the weather has meant no progress. By luck I had the whole weekend off work so had some time to pay attention to the car.
Saturday gave it a very quick wash in preparation for today's polishing. I also organised the new toolbox
Looks like a normal toolbox

But full of expensive goodies

Sunday:
As the car was washed on the Saturday is was straight onto the preparation. Had to quickly detar the car, surprised by the amount that turned up since the new year. Find tar cleanse the easiest way to remove tar, coupled with some make up pads truely makes removing tar as easy as spray on and wipe off.
