Thought id put up a few "before and after" pics from my afternoon with the cut n polish!
Washed (Diamond brite wash n wax)
Scratch remover (Car plan safe cut scratch remover)
"T" cut (Safe cut metallic)
Polish (Diamond Brite high gloss wax)
All plastics treated with Cherry cockpit spray! (The only stuff ive found that actually stays on the plastics, and brings em up like new!)
Tyres blacked up with Carplan tyre black
All applied by hand, and buffed off using a lambswool on an electric polisher!
Not bad results in 3 hours me thinks!
Let me know what you think guys n gals!
