    keep at it mate, it will get there, G3 compound or 3m finesse is awesome stuff, use it once and that should be enough, a good polish after then a wax. Looking good buddy

    I lol'd at the 'My hands were everywhere' line..... Looks really nice, as already mentioned G3 is great stuff, especially if you've got a machine buffer, switch to the finer stuff after the G3 to get the fine scratches out and you'll end up with paint like glass.

    i must say i like the sliver window strips now makes it that little bit different from the norm and look better when around them is clean
    although i'm a bit bugged by the red tcut marks on various rubber and plastics...

    Use old engine oil on a rag, the more you use it on the plastic the less you will need later, Make sure you wipe off the excess. give it a go
