Default Machined my Saxo
Okies folks, first time with the machine polisher today.

Originally i was going to let Wayne do it but then i thought fook it eventually - learn by doing!!

So:

Bodywork:
Wash - Dodo Juice Born To Be Mild
Clay - Meg's Quik Detailer & CYC Ultra Fine Poly Clay
Wash
Polish - DAS6 with Menzerma FF orange pad first then yellow
Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite
Chem Guy's Wet Mirror Sealent
Dodo Juice Purple Haze - 2 coat's
Dodo Juice Red Mist

Wheels:
Autosol on polished dishes
AG SRP
Dodo Juice purple haze by hand

Glass got AG Glass Polish

Lovely smell :


After the first wash:


Despite being clayed only 2/3 week ago their was more on the clay than i thought their would be:


Some swirling i wanted rid of:


Taped up


And some after's:






















Didn't manage to get rid of all the swirling but it's a LOT better:



All in all i think i've achieved about 70% correction, not bad for my first attempt imo.
Machine was a lot easier to use than i'd imagined. Took me 8 and half hours and my back's now fucked, but it was worth it

Opinion's?

Haha cheers dude. Looks like you got Rey's to do then

Dark colour's are more satisfying once done, but the slightest bit of dirt shows up so bad

Is it as simple as going over the said area once? I'd be worried about damaging the paint but i want to get into this...

Looks really good
