    Lessons learnt for next time is to use a finer grade of wet & dry from the offset!

    Nice work, I like that. Make sure it's got a nice level of polish protectant on it though as in this weather it could start to corrode very quickly now that you've got it to a polished finish

    Yeah stick to what you're best at, cleaning your car rather than trying to make it go faster.
