S-Bronze Machine polishing my Civic

[DC_SGT]

Blimey....long day yesterday!!!

6hours later and i'm still not finished....anyways....

Main purpose today was to try out my machine polish and rectify the civic marring and light swirl marks, oh and to try the sample of expensive wax i had

I opted for menzerna 85RD as it was a lite cut, this on a finishing pad would to the business.

I'll apologise for the lack of inbetween pics and 50:50's, but had my hands full with just trying to finish it!! lol

For anyone thinking a new car, means prefect paintwork....think again!!! Look closely at the cars in the dealers and it will reveal this....bloody dealers!!!:




You can't hide from the sun!!

Overall i think i corrected 70% of those, so next i'll be out with the 106 polish as it has a better cut.

I applied a pre-wax cleanser and then my 'special' wax, buffed it all off and took it for a spin to enjoy the last of the sun!






A few pics from last night under the street lights



And today in the midday sun:



I've still got a bit of marring/wax holograms to sort out, i wasn't 100% happy with the finish...but oh well, that can wait to next time!!!!!

Excuse the smudge on the glass and rear light! lol

Many thanks for reading!

Cheers.

Polisher was a rotary, bought from an outfit on ebay, using menzerna polish and pads.

The wax is a raceglaze sample for their new product, a pro detailer on DW sent me some to play with. Its about 55% carnuba wax by volume and will be £100+ per 200ml when on sale. Its very good, but holograms a bit - negative sign of a high wax content.
