Default Getting there...
Well after a week of clay barring my new motor I finally felt the paint was ready for its first polish up with orbital and v36.

Two passes and she looks like this:





Whole car has now had first polish and tomorrow I'll move onto second stage polish and then finally I'll get some sealant and some wax on her - eventually I'll build up too about 4 layers wax.

I'm knacked! Ha ha

Ok I know I've kinda hijacked my own thread - but I'm finally finished!
In total I've spent 27hrs, 4 clays bars, 3 litres detailer, 1 litre of polish, half bottle sealant, and three different types of wax! (Breathe!)











I'm now knacked and going to sleep for three days zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
