Default da polished my bonnet tonight

going to do a bit at a time on the scoob with the Da Polisher.

so tonight I started on just the bonnet.

DA Daz6 Pro polisher and polished it with Menz 2400 cream using orange HEX pad, then used the 4500 with the black HEX, after both applications I polished off with micro fibre clothes.

THEN.. I finished with applying my ANGLEWAX DRIFT wax that is designed for white cars

I have to say, my body work is smooth anyway, but had the usual swirls. Now I have next to non on the bonnet.. just a few I can see close up on the plastic scoop. When I look across the wing and the bonnet, I do see lots on the un polished wing. So I'm well pleased.

Bonnet took about an hour or so to DA, then another 30-40 mins to apply and buff off the DRIFT

applying the drift...



I buffed off with a micro fibre cloth, then went over it again with a micro fibre noodle mit


great results, not that you can tell off a camera phone lol

Looks good. Why the second buff with a noodle mitt? Time to invest in some super plush buffing towels maybe.

2nd buff with noodle mitt seemed to get the last was bloom residue off the car leaving it lovely and shiny without that slight smear you can get from wax polish.
