    detailing using a Kestrel DA Polisher

    Best car I've ever owned mate, very quick for a 2ton car. Not liking the 33mpg on ave, but that's my urban driving. Like how you can driving it sedately but push the Dynamic button and it takes off like a scalded cat.

    detailing using a Kestrel DA Polisher

    Well I always intended to do this to my Accord but never seemed to get round to it :-( From what I know now I wish I had, it's really easy and the cut is really safe, in fact it hasn't removed all the scratches but it has removed all the fine scratches/swirl marks. If you're thinking of doing...

    Oh Deer!

    Whilst I agree with most of the comments on here, I can see you got a fright and didn't think straight. However I would say it would have been a good idea to go back even if hours later. Imagine another motorist coming along the same road @ 60mph and seing a dead deer in the middle of the road...

    Copper slip

    Don't use Copper Grease on the slider pins !!! copper grease attacks rubber and will ruin your seals. Only use a lube that's deemed rubber safe like Castrol Red Lube.. Do a quick google and you'll see...:rolleyes:

    DA polisher

    Guys, I've been looking for a DA polisher for years now and something caught my eye in Costco recently, they're selling a DA polisher cheap and I mean cheap £25 with pads. It's a clarke make. I know machinemart sell these tools. My question is am I mad to be thinking of this? i.e. what makes a...

    What Else ?

    Simon, you sure it's from the back? The front ARB drop links are notoriously weak and worn one are as you're describing, might be worth a look. Does the accord have rear DL? if so I'd check these.... HTH's :-)
