Nice day, so Millie got a shine.

Thank God for sunny days and a Porter Cable. Time for a beer.

That is stunning what combo of pads and compounds did you use as think about getting a Megs 220 for my CTR

-=Stella Artois=- · 5th May 2008, 16:46

I initially used a Sonus swirlbuster pad with Sonus Final Finish. I'll get to why in a mo. Then I used Megs 89 with a green pad and finished with sonus FX2 followed by Final Finish again on a blue (high polish pad)

The reason I go over initially with a finishing polish is it highlights just how much swirl I have to tackle. If I attack it straight off with a glaze, then I can generate swirls where I didn't originally have them.

Finished with Megs diamond carnauba wax, then Megs gold glass, with a final coat of carauba. I find this gives a nice lustre.

Wheels done with megs cleaner and then Jetseal 109'd

That's really nice. Your red looks a bit faded though, but looking at the background I think you need to adjust the exposure on your photo's.

Good work.

Good work.

Collinite Marque D'Elegance Wax will correct that

LOL, I'm lucky they bloody turned out, let alone know what settings to use. I just press the button.
