  1. Cooler today (only 25°C) so did exterior #valet of #Vauxhall / #Opel #Corsa - started with #snowfoam mix of Autoglym Polar Blast + BiltHamber Surfex HD at 10% (wouldn't normally use anything as heavy as that but you can see state car was in previously!)

    Contact wash with CarPro Reset. No pics of snowfoam due to working fast because heat!

    Single stage polish with Koch Chemie 3.01 mild compound+carnuba #wax, cheap cordless DA (compatible with #Makita batteries) and orange pad that came with it.

    I'm fairly new to machine #polishing and didn't use best technique and too much polish (though some on YT recommend keeping pad saturated when working in hot weather to prevent polish drying out, and this seemed to work, #bodywork on this #car far from perfect anyway!)

  8. Recently, I polished the silver, most of which I found thrifting. Bottom row, in the middle, is the gravy boat I showed you recently. From black to shiny: so satisfying! 😄

  9. I am almost finished with wet sanding the last side of the last glider wing.

    The orbital sander has done all it can do on the mostly flat top and bottom of the wing, but the leading edge is strongly curved.

    I'll sand that narrow strip by hand...tomorrow when I'm not tired.

  15. The final (2nd) glider wing is getting sanded to remove orange peel from the polyurethane topcoat.

    After sanding is complete, I'll buff it with rubbing compound to give it a semi-mirror finish.

    Tomorrow I hope to finish sanding this top side. (The bottom remains unsanded.)

  20. It was time to sharpen the points of spears & blades, to check that arrowheads were firmly affixed to shafts. But one youth sat #polishing shields.

    "What are you doing?" growled a commander. "All a shield needs is strength--stop wasting time!"

    "It's not wasted," the youth replied. "Just wait."

    When evening approached, a group of young people stood the polished shields up in the sand to reflect the rays of the setting sun--into the eyes of the advancing foe.

  26. In the West Country, an extremely rare 'polishing stone' has been found. The huge boulder has a smooth dip in which neolithic people would have polished the cutting edges of stone tools.
