Following on from last week when myself and Rustbucket tested the Menzerna polishes on my brothers bonnet, I got round to finishing his car completely yesterday. Unfortunately the fresh 'before' pics I took yesterday were all overexposed and came out pretty terribly (old POS camera ) so I will have to make use of the handful that came out ok as well as some from last week. Yesterday also gave me an ideal opportunity to test the Flex XC 3401 VRG over the course of a full detail on a his black Golf IV.
Car was given a quick wash down and dewax, then the rims were scrubbed and rinsed before being dried off and taped up. Not much work was needed in the actual washing stage because it was done properly last weekend so I could get stuck into the polishing yesterday.
The car was polished using the Flex 3401 and Menzerna IP on the blue Flex pad. LSP was a sample of Meg's new formula M21 Synthetic Sealant applied by hand.
Some before pics, the whole car pretty much looked like the bonnet and fenders. Lots of swirls and a few RDS here and there :
Car taped up and ready for some Flex action
Quick 50/50 after a single pass of IP
And some final after pics I snapped this morning as it was dark when we finished yesterday
Overall I was very impressed with the outcome
