    The issue is I used to do 80% of the work on most events. Which i'm fine with but I haven't been around as of late due to simply barely having a life at the moment. With regards to beaulieu, I was PM'd about this and @VAD17 offered to take the reigns with it. As far as i'm concerned, the person who starts a thread should be the one arranging things. I thought this was the case with this event so nothing has been done. 

    Kevin messaged me about Japfest and I asked him to discuss with Lauren as I wasn't going to be there. Though i'm not surprised Japfest parking didn't go to plan, nobody listens and leaves their cars wherever they want! The club does need some help organising events and if anyone wants to they can certainly put their names forward. I did ask in the survey I put out last if people would be interested, I pm'd those that put their names forward and for the most part the response was they couldn't be arsed or don't have the time. This does make me wonder why they offered in the first place but hey ho...

    @Deacon The system demoted you, you aren't actually demoted lol.

    @Test Drives Unlimited your comment is part of the reason why i've taken a step back as of late. A prime example that my efforts aren't appreciated by most. I've had thanks from many people over the years for organising events for the club, but them thanks come from the same people each year and they are the same people that are happy to help out. There is a huge chunk of people here that expect a load of stuff and really don't appreciate the time & efforts put in. But they are happy to complain when things don't happen. :lol:

    It's clear that as the club expands more help is needed, and i've asked before and got little response. @Leevsfortyone thanks for putting your name forward for helping it's appreciated. Feel free to drop me a PM so we can make the south great again :)

    For applying sealants with a DA you should use a finishing pad always. I tend to apply by hand with an applicator pad though. It's easier to get coverage in hard to get to places you would miss with a 150/160mm pad... You could get smaller pads but then you need to either have a second polisher or keep swapping the backing plate off. It then becomes a bit of a PITA especially considering the majority of sealants/waxes don't need working in they tend to work themselves in (If that makes sense) lol.

    There's nothing stopping you applying that poorboys product with a DA, though i've not used it. You wont cause any damage, get it and have a play I reckon.

    I use Menzerna/3M Compounds to good effect but haven't used a great deal else. I'd say 3M is the better of the two.

    DAS-6 Pro is a good starter polisher. I use mine for sanding duties these days and use a Rupes LHR15ES MkII for polishing. Pad wise It doesn't really matter, i'd say pick a brand and just stick to their system as you will get used to them. Similarly with the polishes/compounds you will get used to their cutting ability.

    Supposedly you're only meant to use Rupes pads/polishes with the rupes polisher otherwise it jumps, can't say i've seen this tbh.

    Chemical Guys are a US company, so I presume it is a reseller you purchased from using the name Chemical Guys (probably by their say so i'd imagine) it may be worth contacting Chemical Guys (the actual chemical guys) to let them know that their UK distributor about this. It's not on and tarnishes what is otherwise quite a reputable brand of cleaning products. I've not used them for years but the products used to be great.
