Polished my van top today

[Mr Bond]

Not a euphamism!

There was a lot of UV damage to the top of my Transit, or possibly heat damage from the last two sweltering Summers.

It was ugly, so I got a rotary polisher from Halfords in the hope it would polish out.

It has taken all day and was a pig to access, but it's not too bad now.

I'm happy but my back is killing me!!

Nice job Phil , my T5 has the same problem , the van is mint but the aftermarket paint on the aftermarket fibreglass bits is awful , when did you say you're coming to do it ?

He did say he was coming to Norwich at some point , it would be a shame to come this far and leave his new polisher at home , I've got ladders and beer !

Tidy job

Well, I could drop it off for a day or two Keith!

Only a good combination if you stay on the ground and drink the beer. The guy doing the work will have to drive home anyway!

Or stumble into the back of my van

Oh, yes, I forgot it's a camper

 

[tatmanpablo]

Come up really well, worth the effort

 

[Mrcollector]

Looks a lot better
I used a cheap orbital polisher off eBay with 3 in 1 cutting compound to brighten up my old car's paintwork. Took hours but knowing you will only do it the once is a comfort..

Bit of a trek from Crewe but if you can polish then me and Phil can drink beer and supervise
