Title: PTG - Anyone have one around West London/Middlesex
Post by: johnhol78 on April 18, 2011, 04:24:28 pm
After the respray and 'wash' by the VW dealer....my nicely machine polished car has a few swirls.  :confused:

I need to do another pass with my DA though really should check the paint thickness to make sure another pass is safe.

Does anyone local have one I can borrow to test my panels?

I have one but am a bit far away in Herts.

However, I would say it would be an achievement to strike or burn through VAG paint with a DA, you will be safe pal.

Hello mate, I dont have paint thickness checker but live in Middlesex and was wondering what VW dealer you went to ? Was it Ruislip ?
