UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Sun was shining and I've been itching to tackle the swirls on my car. At my disposal i only had Meguiar's #80 and #83 and SFX pad set.

Didn't archive the results i was hoping for from these two and I'm looking to try some Menzerna IP.

Anyway I'll start with how she looked this morning as i drove to Wickes for some painters masking tape.




Next up i gave her a shower then a nice warm soapy rub with a Meg's wash mitt, dried with Meg's MF's.



OH NO SWIRLS!!!





Masked the headlights and grill up, not very neat i know!



First off Meguiar's #80 on a SFX 2 pad




Then the other side got Meguiar's #83 on a SFX 1 pad as Meguiar's #80 wasn't doing it on the tough VW paint



Results




Then i applied 1Z PolishWax thinly by hand.



Followed by Harly Wax again by hand.



Followed by Meguiars #21 by PC on a SFX 3 pad.



After all that










All trim and tyres were dressed with AutoGlym Vinyl and Rubber Care.

Overall happy but could still be better but i need a lot more practice on the PC and a wider variety of products.

All comments welcome!

Updated pics and further work;

Added another coat of Harly Wax as the weather was gorgeous!







Then i decided to check the pressure of my spare and give the boot a clean.



Hoovered and hit with All Purpose Cleaner (APC) 10:1



Spare wheel is brand new - never fitted so was in good shape - just a bit dirty so i got APC onto the job.



Applied Hyper Dressing 4:1 to tyre wall and tool box.

nice wish i had the time and patience to do as good a job as that

Looks great Dino, although there are better ways to get a bad boy bonnet than blue tape

I love nothing more than for my car to look good but I don't know where you get the motivation from, I'm usually knackered at the weekend.

im likin that, im definetly gettin the hold of them products, my paint is vry swirly an needs alot of tlc, but once the snow clears an the sun beams, i'll b polishin hard 4 the vag shows

good work buddy! can't wait to get the warmer weather and spend some proper time cleaning my car! its dirty again!

Get me some shades ( found some) That is some seriously shiny sh!t. Even cleaned the spare wheel. Thats either real love for the Polo or a really addictive chemical in the polish
