It was in sun, but later evening, so not hot sun if that makes sense..
Yes I did wonder about the microfibre, but being the only thing to hand I gave it a go, and it works with the glaze fine. The DA polisher comes with a few pads, and I have just spent the first hour at work researching pads on detailedclean!
Thanks I will have a go, I could do with a test go before the weddings big clean, since I will be in a nervous mood and polish stress may send me into a flurry of panic and sweat. I will post my next attempt on here for reference.
