Now thats what I'm talking about :tongue: I bet it costs a fortune though  :undecided:

Well that car took me and a mate 10 hours to do .. so 20 man hours in total

You can easily learn to do it yourself .. and then it is just a matter of having the time (no costs)

You do need to buy a machine polisher though  :wink:

You will have to excuse my ignorance, but isn't Limeprime pre wax cleaner a bit abrasive?  :embarassed: I didn't think that it was a polish? :huh:

I'm just not getting a really deep/wet finish to the paintwork, but don't know where I'm going wrong?  Its all done by hand NOT DA Buffer, but surely I can still get the finish I'm after by hand? Or is it something I'm doing wrong? :sad:

1 WASH CAR WITH MEGS SHAMPOO
2 CLAY CAR (WHEN REQUIRED)
3 WASH CAR AGAIN WITH MEGS SHAMPOO
4 POLISH
5 WAX

Im using micro fibre cloths for the polishing/waxing and a mit for the washing :rolleyes:

Washed the car at the weekend with a similar approach to the above except the claying. Used AG SRP and it worked well for me for the money  :smiley:
