  • Think I made her shiny :)

    So, with all the meets coming up over the next couple of months, and my days off running out before Wings & Wheels, I thought now was a good time for a full detail. I started with my usual Citrus Pro, rinse, 2BM wash, rinse and towel dry. I am now going panel by panel doing the following.
    Clay mitt with soapy water, rinse then dry.
    Megs Ultimate Compound applied with white G3 waffle pad, then buffed with clean microfibre.
    SRP applied with black G3 waffle pad, then buffed with clean microfibre.
    Finally a coat of Sonax Protect & Shine using 2 clean microfibres.

    Here are 2 shots showing 50/50 Left side just clayed, right side full treatment.





    And these shots show the bonnet and bumper after the full treatment.







    Very happy with the result, although it is bloody hard work, and only got the roof, bonnet and front bumper done today. Hoping the weather will hold tomorrow to finish it.
    The Megs UC really is a top product, and it made a massive difference to the many swirl marks I had. One tip though, it is really hard to apply and get off if using in direct sunlight or on hot bodywork.

    Yeah it looks ok I guess mate. 7/10 for effort.

    Kidding! Looks brilliant mate . I'm on holiday all next week so I'm going to do it either Wednesday or Thursday weather depending.

        Looking good and that includes the grill ! Just tried Megs Uc myself for the first time in the last few days though I was lucky as my car was in the shade when I applied it. Very happy with the results.

          I'm still amazed at the finish you can get without an outside tap mate!

                        Did you apply the Megs UC by hand?

                          Yep, quite hard work but worth it, no electric available for a machine polisher . Applied with one of these:
