Looks fantastic mate....makes me feel down about mine as to my damage not being sorted yet.

This really is the first real polish the car has ever had maybe I should have titled the thread that!

But 3 days?!! jesus...

Looks stunning though

 

[Rich]

It took some time, and I did go a bit mad on the products it's done know though.

Took double the time due to feeling rough after a couple of nights out which didnt help and slowed progress!

[Noodle999]

Stunning... Rich would you mind giving an overall run-down of the products you used to achieve that look, for those of us who haven't got half a clue and are in awe of your uber-cleaning abilities?

 

[Waitey]

Not yet rich. Need some more money to buy the rest of the stuff i need.

I'm in Yorkshire. Where are you? I might have a road trip down to you and get some pointers!

Most of the work was done by PC

Swirl Removal - Poorboys SSR 2.5, Light Cut Pad - A fairly abbrassive cutting polish.

Polish - Meguiars Speed Glaze 80, Polishing Pad - A very rich deep gloss polish that leaves an excellent finish.

Glazed - Cleakote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze - Polishing Pad, Clearkote Red Machine Glaze. Add lots of oils onto the paint to give a real deep wet gloss.

Sealant - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant. A very deep looking sealant that looks good on dark paints.

A few more details here.

I remember going outside to clean my old black Saxo VTR every other day in the summers!! Worth every minute though.

 

[Tom_E]

They take some cleaning though in Black, five mins left outside and you will already see the dust settling!
