thanks for your comments chaps  :smiley:
i got all the info from www.detailingworld.com (should come with a warning on this site)
and all the polishes from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk
its not really hard just very time consuming and going over the same panels with the different stage polishes and pads.vag paint is rock hard as well. my kit cost me around 150 quid ive used so far

1)menzerna intensive polish (po85rd3.02)
2)menzerna final finish theres two types of this  (po85rd)(po106fa) got the 3 menzerna polishes in a kit 1ltr bottles for 37quid 
3)meguiars cutting pad (10 quid each the megs pads)
4)meguiars polishing pad
5)meguiars finishing pad
6)chemical guys wet mirror finish
7)chemical guys fs factory sealant
8)loads of microfiber cloths
9)silverline polisher of ebay came with some pads but cut them up to apply tyre gel  :laugh:
10)5inch m14 backing plate for the rotory
most people get hold of scrap panels and practice on these the polisher can be a pain and bite and just go any where thats why its a good idea just to get a feel for how its going to move
hope this helps
kev  :smiley:

Looks great!

Tell me, did it get rid of a lot of the smaller annoying scratches?

some deeper rids(random deep scratches) remain but most of the annoying ones have been wet sanded back a bit using 2000 grit paper if they dont totally disappear after polishing there appearance is at least  reduced but it all depends on how deep the scratch is
