UK Question

:shocked :eek: :shocked :eek: :shocked



PC :confused: ......nah thats shiney enuff mate :bounce :D



Looks great Alex.........I'm not jelous at all.........well not much..........ok I am :)
 
Thanks for all your replys,I will maybe bite the bullet and get one in the spring but right now I will just have to continue to do things by hand.Nice car Alex!
 
If you can afford to order a PC soon, you will strongly benefit from the very good exchange rate for the US$. The other things to think about is what type of transformer you want. I would also start to order some pads and machine polish so your ready once the PC arrives.
 
Nice car Alex:up



I guess I'll wait till the weather warms up before commiting to a RO machine.



Though I might try my std single speed B&D on my Father in laws car. its quite old with alot of scratches anyway, dont think that I can make it any worse. It would settle in my mind whether 10000 opm is too fast & would do damage.



Just have to convince him:D
 
Dont forget it is not just the speed, the type and quality of the pads is also very important. I tried some pads which I bought from Machine Mart for a few pounds. These did a very good job of introducing new marks on the paint.
 
I was going to get some meg pads as they seem to be that only easily avilable pads here that are recommended. Any suggestions for a swirled up blue rover metro
 
Lake Country pads may be another option. Although I can't remember the outcome if they were actually available or not. The UK listings thread may have the answer to that.



For the Metro.... Well everyone will always say start with the least aggresive polish first, and most people as you will read seem to have alot of success with either DACP or #9 SMR. Maybe give one of those a go....Wouldn't go any more aggresive than say DACP to start though.



Cheers.



Sorry to of Hi-jacked the thread a little earlier :).
 
I am still waiting for a response for the Lakes pads from the UK distributer. Alex, as a trade buyer maybe you could be more successful.
 
Well what can I say.......I ordered my PC from here New Years Eve while the SAVEBIG sale was still on. Once the shipping cost was sorted, I chose USPS surface mail with expected delivery 4-6 weeks, it was sent on 07-01-04.........and it arrived today :D :D :D



USPS must be using speedboats now :p ;)



Now then, who knows the US wiring code for when I chop the plug off :confused:
 
oops forgot about that:bow

If I remember rightly US colour codes are:-

Black - LIVE

White - NEUTRAL

Green - EARTH.



I didn't have to take my plug off, but you should have just the black & white.



Before you kill yourself (I want my QEW!), maybe one of our

buddies across the pond can confirm this is correct.

he he, thought that might work, thank you very much for that, kind Sir :bigups



you'll have the QEW before I get my transformer........i'll kill myself later :D
 
Black = live sounds right BUT I will double check on Tuesday night. The PC does not have a earth cable. No point risking a new PC for my failing memory.
