Nice job on the paint looks great

That’s before a wash. I only really concentrated on the hood of the cars as it was taking so long I had to just focus on oe area. I only have a das polisher so won’t be too harsh. Just using a orange pad and power polish on my golf did nothing. It’s like diamond coated paint.

Sorry I did have Tapatalk should now be attached. Yes I know it’s bad. That’s the roof. Thanks mike. What’s your preference on the pad vs clay? Plan now is to use a woolen pad as the clear coat is very hard prob use mez power polish then finish with a white pad 203 then Wolfgang sealant...

Can’t seem to get it off the iPhone.

This is a pic of the roof untouched and cleaned. I have just focused on the Bonnet yesterday.

Yep was looking at either the BLACKFIRE mit or the meg c2100 clay. Any thoughts? Seems silly to get both.

I’m going to buy some c2100 clay and get some tar and bug remover. Unfortunately I can’t ship aerosol so have to look for a pump spray I will let u know the results. I will also try and get some pics of the paint too. Thanks for all the help guys it’s awesoem to get such good advise promptly...

The clay I have been usingis pinnacle ultra poly clay

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I’m washing the car first meguires soft wash I think. As a clay lube I have been using meg quick detail? Also trying to keep some water on the car as I thought this would help line the clay as well? Not sure what the contaminated are but both are under a tree which...

I have neglected my poor cars a while and I’m trying to restore some beauty to them. I’m not at polishing yet but the claying is taking a long time and I’m not sure if I’m over working it as there is so much debris on the paint. Should all the debris come off with the clay or is there an easier...

Thanks guys. Yea I have not done the entire car it's only been a patch to try to get results. I used only one pad as I was only working one section. I will get a few mf pads and the fg500. Will the sf 4000 be ok with a foam pad? Or something a little harder? Once again anyone got any suggestions...

Got a da polisher sorry not sure on brand but got it off here a few years back. The power gloss I think is now pg1000 and the sf4000 is the super finish. Ok so maybe need another pad to enhance the cut. And from think links he was using the fg500. Sucks as it seems like it's going to take a long...

Just wanted some Advise on why I'm not getting results on my car it's a white vw golf gti mkv. Been putting off detailing it as my house has been chewing up most of my time. But today I want to get some cleaning and detailing going and I just couldn't get the best results. Started with orange...

Once again thanks.... I am going to get a practice run on my mums work van which is in bad shape so that should give me plenty of time to get a hang of the whole process, products pads and working time. But I am actually looking forward to getting into it. I am sure I will have a few more...
