Then we rinsed & clayed,The contamination was very little but remember
this car got clayed In Jan.

Then we rinsed & dried.Btw thats not me,thats my nephew who was helping me out.

We pulled her into the garage & taped up all the important rubbers & emblems.We tried a few combos first,Then we opted for the menz power
gloss with the orange hex logic pad.The power gloss made the paint very dull & removed a few deep imperfections.Then we used the p085 with the green pad,This removed some swirl & brought the colour back to normal.Then we used the p0152 with a white pad,I was impressed with the p0152,This stage removed most of the fine swirl.Then we rinsed the car down.

The white diamond on a black hex logic pad filled some imperfections that were still left & really made the car glow again.Then i followed with the wet mirror finish which really left a wet look.

Then i applied the sealant,Left it for 12 hours,Then applied the nattys paste wax.
