it took a while and I did buy a kit from ebay but I'm convinced that I could of made my own cheaper.

the most important bit will the drill attachment, I don't have a polisher anymore so it was needed.

this is the kit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

but it doesn't go adhrasive enough.

I started with 1500 grit but it wasn't enough, so I started with 800 then 1200-1500-2000-2500.

I used the compound from the kit but I get better results from megs scratch X.

I improvised by cutting discs out of wet and dry and sticking them to velcro. it gave a better result.

finished off with the polish/ sealer.

things to watch out for....

the plastic doesn't get to hot.
start with 1500 and see if it removes the haze by doing a patch test, if not, go lower.
remember it makes a mess of your car.....lol

having proper sanding discs would of made it much easier.

happy days.
