Job that cost me my polisher! Viewer be warned

I took on this range rover yesterday knowing it was going to be bad, didnt fully appreciate just HOW bad until I got to my customers house. Thankfully for me he wasnt trying to get a full paint restoration, just enough to where he could sell it. I decided to make this video hoping to show others how well m105/orange pad and a griots da worked. This took me about 10 mins on speed 5-6. About 20mins later my polisher wouldn't start up.... boy was I nervous. Fortunately my helper messed with it and saw it still had some life in it, that is if I used it on speed 6... and only 6. Anyways, I ended up doing the whole thing on speed 6. The customer ended up VERY impressed and satisfied. I contacted griots and they are sending me another under their lifetime warranty. The rep was nice enough to let me hold on to my one speed polisher until I get the new one in the mail. Now I just hope they deliver as promissed. Pardon the groaning, back was killin me lol

To be clear I did a little more work to the rear door aswell as the rest of the car.

 

thats real banged up paint ouch
good to hear that Griots has lifetime warranty, dont think my PC does, think it said 2 or 3 years

 

Yeah, which why I sold my pcxp a month after i bought it and picked up my griots.

 

Thats an awsome 50/50. Nice.

Did the combo leave much holos?

 

I effed up my first generation UDM (made by PC), and I wan't even using it all that my. My old 7424 still works though...

 

Tomas, I dont know what you mean by holos. The paint was by no means perfect, this combo was just quick and painless. The customer was very impressed so I was happy.

 

Nice work too bad about your griots d/a.

 

I think he is referring to holograms.

 

Oh, not that i saw but then again it was a cloudy day. My halogen tripod stand lost a screw so I didnt care to bring them with.

 

Yes, as Chas said, i was referring to holograms tnx

 

Whats a good portable light to carry around to check for holograms thats not too pricey?

 

Get a brinkmann.

 

+1 Brinkmann

 

Ive thought about getting the brinkman but I keep reading mixed reviews, why on autogeek it has average of two star rating.
