Sweet! When you detailed your car what did you use?

I'm after someone with a Megs machine polisher.

Yea i need to get my car porter cabled aswel mate i only hand detailed it the other day, and didnt do it particularly well as i ran out of will power due to the short days!  I used Mainley Meguiars Products with a few Auto Glym Bits aswel.

First i Snow Foamed the car and treated the wheels with some meguiars Hot Rims, then jet washed it all off.  Then used two bucket method with a strong mix of Meguiars NXT Gen Wash to wash the whole car.  Then rinsed off with hose and dried with two Meguiars water magnets.  Then moved the car inside and dried off any run marks that were caused by moving the car.  Then i used Auto Glym Glass Polish on all of the windows inside and out and also the mirrors.  After this i started on the paint first i used Meguiars Deep Crystal Step 1 paint cleaner. Then Auto Glym Ultra Deep Shine, and then Meguiars Carnauba Wax. 

But you can still see the swirl marks in the paint, which is why in the summer i am going to pay and get it proffessionally paint corrected.

Same probably buy a Megs G220 and learn to do it myself! I used a similar method but with PoorBoys wax and was very impressed with the results! Yours looked good...used to hate Jazz Blue but like it more and more I see it!
