Hi thanks all I think I have cracked it I followed Buckeyes link to timberbits and roughly followed what he did I put on about 15 layers of thin and only used a fine mist of accelerator as advised from about 18" then used the micropads but not wet as he did it but at about 600 rpm dry then as I did not have any brasso I used autosol he then finished with a auto product called I think called mac coys mirror glaze but as I did not have that either I used huts crystal finish and after polishing finished off with some canuba wax for good measure the last bits where done at 3000 rpm. Below is a not very good picture (hand held at 1/6th of a second) I must get my tripod and a little lighting jig set up when I get time.
