Bother (or words to that effect) Tried to polish one of the bonnets today and it was a total failure. I am not sure why - I used the same method that I had on a test piece a few weeks ago but all I could get was a smeary mess. I don't know if it was the temperature - or perhaps the ally is different - or perhaps I am just cak handed today...
Now it's a toss up between giving up on that or buying a proper orbital polishing tool like they use to compound paint. Hmm...

PS. Her indoors has now expressed the opinion that I should get the car professionally finished - she can't stand me grumping around any more when things don't go quite according to plan. I have to say there is now a certain attraction to that - specially as the spring is on the way.
