cheers for the comments, it's taken me about 8 hours altogether to get the front end like that lol.

I've been using meguiars shampoo plus, blackfire poly clay, jeffs prime acrylic polish, poorboys white diamond glaze and jeffs acrylic trigger sealant, with jeffs acrylic glos for residue removal. Also aerospace 303 for sills/engine bay and some other black plastics, blackfire tyre gel, poorboys wheel sealant, poorboys natural look interior dressing...emmm meguiars nxt metal polysh for exhausts...I think that's all

Very nice mate, I can imagine the effort it must take to get gleam out a of a white car!!

well since the rear has no camber and tracking adjustment I went and did that tonight, will do the front once I get it booked in to get the tracking done afterwards

quite pleased with the result, enough to look good but not enough to be a nightmare on the many speedbumps in my works carpark

So what rotary machine u usin for ur polishin and pads u got? Still lookin at the different ones to get, ppl say use the G220 as its user friendly and others say just buy a Silverline as it does the same job? Can u buy a Silverline and use G220 pads???

[loud]

I used my mates makita for a while and ended up buying a silverline since it does the same job just doesn't have the same lifespan, but I don't plan on using it enough for that to be an issue

You just need to buy some decent backing plates and pads, I've got a combination of meguiars, lake country, 3m and menzerna
