several layers of polish later...
24. Mar 2010 at 23:05

Well, the plan is to properly concentrate on the 10 years of drive-thru car wash swirl marks a panel at a time so we went around the car with a cutting compound to take out any minor blemishes then on the bonnet (phase 1 of the plan) there's 2 layers of meguiars cleaner wax, a layer of Autoglym deep shine, a layer of carnuba harley wax and another layer of cleaner wax!! the rest of the body is just a layer of cleaner wax and the results are loverly!

I'm certainly happy with the results, for a 10 year old car she looks immaculate Thumbs Up!

All we need now is the sun to shine and we can both appreciate our hard work Darker colours really need bright light to look their best, although the darker cars, when well polished, look really good at night IMO
