Well today I decided I couldn't put it off any more I had to get the wife's car cleaned up so I can advertise it for sale.

So thanks to ChrisRs giving me a tutorial a while back I decided to go the whole hog and machine polish it.

How much fun was that! Very very satisfying!

Anyway I won't bore you with the full details but I will tell you what products I used...

I used

obsession wax shampoo

Dodo juice need for speed with machine.

Then AF power seal.. again with machine

Followed by dodo juice purple haze.

sonax bsd

I don't claim to be good at this but I really enjoy it!

Wow Carl

Great job mate...You must be nackered !!

See you tomorrow

No joke Chris, I had to sit down after doing every panel.

Made me realise how much I'm going to struggle in future.

But still fun..

Awesome results and top effort there buddy!

Wanna do mine next?!? LOL

Good luck with the sale on the Mazda btw.

Thanks ste, I was quite pleased with it. Sorry I haven't been able to collect the pads from you yet. I shall make an effort over the next few days if your around?

In the heat of the past couple of evenings, I had a bottle of water on standby to glug after doing a panel.  Amazing how necessary hydration is and how intensive machine polishing is (but would rather be using machine than by hand)

Please? Absolutely stunning work mate 

 

Not a problem on the pads - i have some left from the last batch 

Beading from the products used.

Looking good Carl; nice to see the new car today as well! 

 

Great to see you looking well; hope you had a nice meal out with the family. 

Thanks ste, was good to have a natter with you. And thanks for the samples too. Very good of you!

Not a problem, happy to help.

Let me know how you get on.

Looks very good.  Amazing how much it can take out of you. I still do everything by hand, but hot days like these I make sure there's a jug of something cold in the fridge. Arms and shoulders usually ache for a couple of days afterwards.

Once I decided a few nice cold beers on a hot summery afternoon would make the job easier.  Hurt so much the next day.
