You know my thoughts on Werkstat sealants as a whole. Just didn't get on with it. Interestingly John or Clark at PB also had initial issues but rectified it. Of course when I asked on DW I was hushed ;)

Shotgun the bonnet. Large flat area, done.

The whatjamaflip?!

I have the same setup as Dave (quelle surprise) with a wet QD/drying aid (Meg's last touch no16) and protection (Z8/carb spritz/C2 diluted 1:1).

Yeah, as with most things you get what you pay for. It's very slick, regardless of water hardness. People not in the know (including me years ago!) judge a shampoo on how much it suds up. BTBM doesn't foam as much as others I've used, but it is one of the most slick, slickest? Wever.

Megs Gold Class was fine when I was a detailing noob. Trouble was, I bought a job lot off of eBay so had to get through it! BTBM is one of the best. CSWalmsley, yes.

'Cause I'm such a baller, I buy it in 5x1l increments, rather than 5l, so spend more money. Precisely, Tob.

Not sure how that double posted 9 mins apart...

I guess they're not quite as obvious if you're new to it all :)

You must be on the website to post links, so surely you can read the descriptions?! http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/polishing/g4-glass-nano-polish/

That's a rotary, Clart - and that one has been replaced by the better 801 machine. It depends on your outlook. If you are confident in your abilities, and know what to look out for and have a paint depth gauge, it's a great machine. If you are, as you say, a newb, I'd go for the DAS6 Pro.

It's not.

I'll sell it, buy another 4s and make some money. Win win.

Yeah bonnet and roof are no worries. It's the flanks that really take their toll on my. Might give the R8 an Amigo/Glasuring (no polishing) to let me arms cool down lol. DA heaven!

Yeah 3.02 and FF are great polishes, but I'm not so sure on the pads. Weird combo because compounding is really something reserved for rotaries in my mind. The 3M kit really is best for "newbs", as it's colour coordinated. Buy from I4D as they are superb, but try and get the 3M pads and polishes...

Christ will you stop tempting me, Kev. I've got two straight days with the Silverline on Friday and Saturday!

Yeah eBay special. Dot worry about the bottle, it's one of those collapsible ones so won't burst...!

Flol! 1-0 you old c unit.

Same boat Dave. What do you get from orange out of interest? Voda is £278 which isn't bad.

I presumed as much. Is it wrong that I only read orange and green comments in this thread?

Lol, true.

Nein, gash interior.

Where? Forgot who I was talking to, sorry. Where, you knobber. x

THANK YOU! Looks good mate. And yes, RMG and Vics is a great combo, shame it just doesn't last more than about 2 months! Looking forward to Amigo and Glasur in comparison.

So what exactly are you asking? Because at the moment, I don't know whether it's your wash technique, your polishing (and guessing you don't either as you don't sound sure about the results?) or whether something/someone has damaged your car while it was tucked away?!

Yes the paint is hard. You'll get somewhere with a DA but it will need a lot of patience. You'd be able to stay on top of the swirls with a DA but a full correction is likely to take several passes. Mine was in a state, and like yours is a colour that shows every little mark. I'm glad I've...

So are the swirls from washing, the last time it was polished, since it's been in the garage or...?!

More G101. As Kev has made me wonder if I have enough left!
