Smile Caught bufty-fever today!

Had the afternoon off and feeling down in the dumps having seen the BOSS in his perfect motor so decided to purchase Meguiar's entire range and set about a serious session involving several buckets of soapy water, a lambswool mit and 4 coats of wax/polish!

Here's the results

2 clear buckets, quick clayed, whole car done with paint cleaner, whole car done with polish, then whole car done with carnauba wax (x2)!

My arm is aching a bit but think it was worth it...btw i recommend the Black Magic hand wax system. Its a hand sized pad with an elastic strap on he back which is the best way of applying polish that i've ever used! Super quick and has interchangeable terry cloth covers and fluffy ones depending on what you're applying to the paintwork!

Opinions on the days labour please!

Looks like your hard work paid off well, although id recomend some Poorboys EX-P sealant after the polish, this will make the flake in the paint "pop" followed by some Poorboys nattys blue finishing wax instead of the Meguiars carnauba.

The poorboys will give a much wetter look and more intense reflections.

Lovely looking car though bud
