Did you use a mechanical buffer with the G3 compound, or did you do it by hand? If so what kind of cloth did you use? Microfiber?

I did it by hand. Farecla works better on a wet sponge.

we used a rotary buffer on the big panels side panels bonnet etc, And for the smaller pannels we done it by hand using a microfiber cloth, Results were good, next time we consentrating on the swirls, Then mirror finish polish,

I meant ill be giving it a mirror finish polish ,once the swirls are removed we give it the full zymol treatment very expensive wax, but the effect it like a mirror, polish. All work is carried out by me and my mate, his dad owns a car modifying shop in morayshire, Were just using their garage and products. Hard graft but its so much cheapness,

Shop and garages detailers etc charge 250 to 400 quid for doing this much work, im on hollidays just now but will be back next week.
