    That was really nice, Pete. Enjoyed every minute of it, especially the crossing of Tower Bridge. At the risk of sound like a Fogey (i.e. old), it's nice to hear someone using the word "iconic" correctly, rather than the normal tantamount to word-abuse usage in ad-copy: Gucci/Prada/Burberry's iconic new perfume... Great aluminium strips on that bonnet, too. Thanks, Tom (from France).

    Another fantastic video Pete, may of said it before but my Dad drove RM's out of Peckham and Plumstead before becoming Blackey from on the buses (yes promoted to inspector) so they hold a very soft in my heart, as do RT's and RF's, he also used to do the speacial weekend coast runs (driving them) down to Margate, Folkstone sometimes Hasting, and that shoot done on Tower bridge brought back alot of happy memory's.

    Ah the black wall tunnel
    Is a swear word to me! First month of driving a HGV, never heard of the M25, satnav took my artic through central London, through the black wall tunnel. On the way home, the satnav did the same, but who knew it’s lower coming back the other way?! Well not me, and the hanging concrete bollards peeled the top on my trailer off 😬 what a day! 15 years later, I keep my eyes peeled for height warning signs 😂

    Evening Pete , you only prep the pad on the polisher, and you only need about a tenth of the compound you used, plus keep the pad flat, do not use the edge, and work in a cross hatching motion , about a third of the panel size at a time, I’m a full time Valeter and Detailer of 7 years experience, you will find it a lot better finish, and easier going…..when removing the polish👍🇮🇲

      @@PeteAndHisBus less is more Pete, the idea is to work the compound , till you get a sheen like almost oily effect as you work it, go to far and it will heat up too much and go dry, also spur the pad with a small soft brush between passes, it cleans the surface off from excess compound, three small pea sized dots of compound per use is plenty, less is more , you want it to work across the paint not clog the pad 👍🇮🇲

    now if you had converted an RMA or RMC you wouldn't be stuck at 40mph on the motorway but 50. Not holding the trucks up as much. Did you wax/seal the aluminium before affixing to prevent future oxidisation? Have you had people try to board whilst stuck in traffic?

    • @PeteAndHisBus
      @PeteAndHisBus  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn't wax seal, because my buses get a hard life and will probably need re painting before that's an issue haha! Nope not yet. I do have a lock across the bottom deck and a chain lock across the stairs. They get the message!

      @@PeteAndHisBus A London coach operator I drove for on occasion had 3 RT's that had been converted to look like 30's buses with open staircases and the front upper deck a couple of feet back from the front. People still tried to board when stopped at lights even with the platform having a strap across it. Public = morons.

    You might need a less dusty barn but there must be scope for a conversion of one of the Guy Arab buses (Crosville ex North Wales tourist ones come to mind) in white livery to create downstairs the worlds longest Mr Whippy Ice Cream van serving through all four windows ( actually this is where the more provincial 5 bay window bodies might be better (Cravens RT ?!)
