I don't bother drying anything bar the shuts, wheels and arches on the 182 now. I wash as normal and then I use the Aquagleam filter and a couple of cans of filtered water for the final rinse and allow to drip dry.
(Wont' be ideal if you are pushed for space to store it)
Even pat drying with...
Polarizer ruins the look reflections in the silver paint in the above pic IMO and makes the front wing look odd in colour.
Like what it does to the glass.
Think she still is enjoying it, I was allowed to take it up Prescott Hillclimb last summer !

Good thanks, hope your well too. Dee is still looking after the Monaco.
Should make some good money then to spend on track related bits, will be fine when you paint it white then ;)

In most cases by PC you will need #83 on the SFX 1 and then follow up with the #80 on SFX 2.
The it is up to you on the SRP, but after the above SFX 3 should be fine.
If claying with QD no need to re wash.
83 and then the 80
SRP will work fine on either a polishing or finishing pad.
EGP IMO is best applied by hand.
Fresh pad per different product for me unless going more aggressive.
i.e if I start a panel with Menzerna Final Finish on a polishing pad and...
