springtime swirl removal

well after a recent clay barring, i found a few of these buggers..
i used the megs clay kit, it good value.



so got the Megs G220 out, used sonus SFX pads & Menzerna polishes.



that soon shifted them





comes up well for a 10 year old car..









then i moved on and used the following..
DoDo juice lime prime lite, finish kare sealant, DoDo juice blue velvet wax
and loads of micro-fibre cloths.











took couple of days to do, but well worth it

if its looked after.. washed properly, 2 bucket method and no sponges. regular waxing, it should last well over 12 months
i did mine about 14 months ago, but our bad winter has taken its toll on it.
all lower panels had swirls on.

Looks very good indeed! Brilliant job! Just made a thread on asking about swirl marks etc. Very impressive!

Dang... I'll have mine 'round later!

I really need to do a full day stint on my vehicle.. well.. maybe one for the inside and one for the outside, hehe.

Very good job there though. bling bling
