Started prep for the Dub Fiction show next weekend, with the warm, light evenings it's perfect for machine polishing! Got the o/s rear quarter and rear door done this evening. Should get more done tomorrow.

I used Autofinesse Clay with Megs QD, a couple of Menzerna polishes, Poorboys Blackhole and Poorboys Nattys Blue, this is the result:

Nice reflection shot:







All swirl marks are gone, pretty happy with the result :cool:

Cheers :cool:

Blackhole is amazing stuff, it's a glaze that you use after polish and before wax. It's designed for dark coloured paint and fills in some of the swirls as well as enhances the paint - gives it a deep finish.

Natty's Blue is just a paste wax, again designed for dark coloured cars!

Anyway, this evening's work,it was the turn of the other rear 1/4 and rear door as well as the bonnet. I'm expecting a parcel from Waxamomo tomorrow with a few goodies including some smaller pads/backing plate :cool:

Bonnet (ignore wings)






Rear quarter:



Yesterday's work again (ignore boot/bumper):
