ill just post the pic's. I cant think of a better way to spend my birthday, even if iam dripping with sweat!! washed clay bared 3m fats cutx1 pass at 2000rpm ( this was drying up far to fast) megs ultimate compund x2 passes at 2000rpm megs ultimate polish x2 passes at 1400,then 1200 rpm megs gold class plus wax x3 passes by hand To be honest they would have been alot better if the sun hadn't disapeared behind my mam and dads house. Ahwell Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image

[QUOTE=graemewelch;625834]looks good. my first thought was that finish is crap then realised i was looking at car at bottom of drive[/QUOTE] belive it or not that passat has an amazing finish, i repainted it last year and flatted the clear completly flat( no orange peel what so ever). you wanna see the depth and claraty. i will admit it hasn't been washed in about 4 months, as its been sat on my dads drive awaiting someone to buy it.
