so after being bored on my night shifts in work and watching hours worth of detailing videos and coming to the conclusion i need to get myself a machine polisher, i realised the Clio is not as clean as it looks. By hand the car feels smooth but with the baggie test the paint is still extremely gritty

. So when i wake up in a few hours ill be taking a trip to halfords to get myself some detailing polish to use as lube for claying and some super resin polish to cover up the scratches and swirls for now. I know the super resin polish isnt a permanent answer as its just a filler but when i get the machine polisher ill get some m105 and m205 on and get rid of the swirls for good. Looks like today will be spent claying the car until it passes the baggie test.
On a better note iv had the chance to give the clio a thrashing on the back roads and in the wet and the tyres are holding up well outpaced a golf gti mk5 on some twisty s and the clio's front brakes are currently metal on metal and the back shocker has also collapsed and the tracking is well out from the garage session last week so can only imagine how good it will drive when my bits are delivered.
