    Me Vs Meguiars

    I was up at 4.30am, Cleaning the Car at 5.30am finished at 12.30... 7hrs.

    After washing and Drying I got the Clay bar out....



    It took 2hrs to Clay Bar it was really easy with the Quick Detailer....




    Then the Machine Polisher, I first used Meguiars 205 Ultra Finishing Polish after doing half the Car I decided the Cut was not deep enough so Started again with 105 Ultra Cut Compound it looked a lot Sharper.

    Then to finish off I gave it a complete Wax.... Here is the Finished result....



    You can see the kerb where I Scratched the 19....



    Here is one of the Garages.....



    And one for the Album....



    Products Used....



    Was all really easy from start to finish, just time consuming.... Many, many thanks to no1tosh for all his help and guidance before I started this process... Cheers mate
