Hello Mate Cheers for the recognition I just enjoy polishing cars and take it to an OCD level. 8-[

This was a full paint correction task with Years of abuse from Sponges swirling the Paint up. I used a Makita Rotary with a 3m Perfect it 5 inch backing plate and 3 3M Perfect it II yellow pads with Menzerna 302 to correct then A 3M Blue finishing pad and Poorboys black Hole Show Glaze Then followed that up with an Isopropyl alcohol wipe down and then 2 coats of Autoglym HD wax.

Interior wise the Leather was cleaned and conditioned and the glass cleaned and polished inside and out and in a proper OCD moment the Seatbelt Clip metal toungues were autosol'd

Departure 2 exhaust was Autoglym Metal polished.

Alloys were thoroughly degreased and cleaned prior to being polished with Autoglyms Super resin polish and Extra gloss Protection

Started just before 10pm finished at 8pm and God i was knackered!

anyway heres a few of the pics i took from the day.

This one really shows just how bad the sponge abuse is and the swirls
