That looks awesome, inspired me to got for one i think. Am I right in thinking you go over three times using the three different pads and polishes? Thanks

That was one go with a medium pad and PO203S Menzerna polish  once Id done that, switched to a softer pad and polish. Waxed it and the whole car looked like the right half of the picture.
