It's been a long while since I had a car worthy of polishing.
I have spent all weekend tinkering with my 924 and today i got the Meguiars polisher out.
Sadly the bonnet and roof could really do with a rub down and clear coat. Might be braver after the show
Anyway, I started with a good wash , machine polish nothing too abrasive 83 on Meguiars scale, then a machine glaze and finally a good coat of wax. Well that took the best part of a day
Looking good and ready for the cream tea run and show.
It takes longer than you think

Re: It takes longer than you think
Jason, I'm sure one of the detailing guys will have a paint thickness gauge if you ask. Some pics would be good or do we have to wait until the show?

Re: It takes longer than you think
A lot of cars will have had years of T/Cut and fairy liquid abuse. 
I wouldn't be surprised if one or two reading this are still using one or tuther.
Some pictures would be good, so that we can admire the fruits of your labour
